Lyrics and translation Rod Stewart - Big Bayou
I
took
a
long,
long
trip
to
the
city
J'ai
fait
un
long,
long
voyage
dans
la
ville
I
was
determined
to
get
somewhere
J'étais
déterminé
à
arriver
quelque
part
I
spent
all
my
hard-earned
money
J'ai
dépensé
tout
mon
argent
durement
gagné
I
had
saved
to
put
me
there
J'avais
économisé
pour
me
mettre
là
Big
bayou,
where
did
you
go
now?
Grand
bayou,
où
es-tu
allé
maintenant ?
To
the
river
that′s
running
slow
Vers
la
rivière
qui
coule
lentement
And
to
the
Gulf
of
Mexico
Et
vers
le
golfe
du
Mexique
Big
bayou,
carry
me
home
Grand
bayou,
ramène-moi
à
la
maison

I
took
a
cotton
picking
job
in
Memphis
J'ai
pris
un
boulot
de
cueilleur
de
coton
à
Memphis
And
the
people
there
treated
me
good
Et
les
gens
là-bas
m'ont
bien
traité
But
my
luck
run
bad
in
Nashville
Mais
ma
chance
a
tourné
à

sautent
dans
les
