Don't come to me telling me about your pain
Just hold me all night long
Don't come to me telling me about your troubles
Just hold me all night long
Then there ain't gonna be no rain
And it's gonna shine all night long
Shine all night long
Then Julia said to me
Chorus:
"I don't wanna go down by the bayou
Mamma heard it's kind of crazy down there
She don't wanna go down by the bayou
She heard a lot of rumors about people down there"
And there ain't nothing wrong with the trying to change
And make a simple living man out of me
No, there ain't nothing wrong with the trying to change
And make a simple living man out of me
So I'm gonna give it up for my love
That means you
Stand up and give it up for your love
Your love, oh
Whoa, my, no, no
That means you
Then there ain't gonna be no rain
And it's gonna shine all night long
Shine all night long
And then she said again
Repeat Chorus
So c'mon
Don't come to me telling me about your pain
Just hold me all night long
And there ain't gonna be no rain
And it's gonna shine all night long
Shine all night long
Then Julia said again
Repeat Chorus
Whoa, whoa (whoa)
Down by the bayou
Whoa, whoa (whoa)
Down by the bayou
Down by the bayou
I'm wondering in the bayou
