Lyrics
Swampy and Dirty
Jellybean/Matto
V1:
You're Daddy's little girl, pampered in a five-star world
Of champagne bubble baths and pearls, it's a lot to be leaving
I was born in a tin-roof shack, my mama wrapped me in a cornmeal sack
Louisiana rain pounding on my back, is it hard to believe me
PC1:
Oh, uptown they'll never understand
Why you wanna go, and fall in love with a Bayou man
Chorus:
'Cause you're pretty, Livin' large in the city
But I get downright gritty
Do you wanna get Swampy and Dirty
Can you sense it, I'm filled with good intention
To crown a Cajun Princess
Come on let's get Swampy and Dirty
V2:
Barefoot in a backwoods creek with our jeans rolled up above our knees
Spanish moss hangin' from the trees, I like what I'm seein'
Grab the pole and nestle in tight, I'll show you how to put the bait on the line
We'll stay out watchin fireflies shine all through the evening
PC2
Oh, you're lettin' go of the silver spoon
Now I see you glow underneath the southern moon
CH
SOLO
PC3
Oh, you're singin'out like a songbird set free
And now I wanna know, can you stay with a mudcat like me, yeah
CH
END:
Creole folk say to find true love, you gotta dig down deep past the filth and mud
When the waters rise and things get tough, get swampy and dirty
