Charley Pride - Piroque Joe lyrics

Down in Louisiana where the bayou blows Lives a little man called Pirogue Joe He wears a red shirt and a pole cat cap And when he walks his gum boots flip flop flap He's got a puppet on a string and a trick yo-yo And a pup in his pocket called Tee Me Moe He puts on a show everywhere he goes That's why they love little Pirogue Joe He's fast as a lightening quick as a cat He can out run the best musk rat He can make a pirogue go go go That's why they call him Pirogue Joe He's a happy go lucky son of a gun He always has a lot of fun He laughs and jokes everywhere he goes That's why they love little Pirogue Joe He's got a spot where he likes to go The girls all dance with Pirogue Joe He swings them high to a doe si doe Down where they do the fain doe doe Eats po'boy shrimp drinks strawberry wine Dance all night have a good time They all keep time to the fiddler's bow That's why they love little Pirogue Joe
