Catahoula
David Bellamy
INTRO: D G D G C G D G
D
Well I left Okeechobee I was on a quest
G
Stopped at Weeki Wachee where the mermaids nest
D
I seen Sopchoppy, I turned it left
G
I hit Apalachicola, headed west
C
Crossed two more states and a drivin' rain
G
Finally reached Lake Pontchartrain
D
In the bayou town I found my dream
N/C
In the purtiest hound you ever seen
--Chorus--
G D
Catahoula, best friend I ever had
G
I scratch his ear and he brings my beer and comforts me when I'm sad
C
My cajun queen went to New Orleans, spent up all my moolah
D G
Well I don't give a damn I'm a happy man I got a dog called Catahoula
(intro)
D
In a plywood shack eatin' etouffee
G
Drinkin Dixie beer passin' time away
D
If the sun goes down on a lazy day
G
It's time to dance while the 'cordian plays
C
We'll hunt them 'possums by a southern moon
G
Just to hear 'em bark makes a-my heart swoon
D
From the Atchafalaya to the Chandeleur
N/C
The zydeco rhythm and my old pal Blue
(chorus)
D G D G
C
Well the crawfish boil and the alligators bark
G
Oh I want a little more tobasco sauce
D
That sawin' fiddle sure feels fine
N/C
I'll sing his praises one more time
(chorus 2x)
D G
I don't give a damn I'm a happy man I got a dog called Catahoula
