Lyrics:

                                                  
Black Lake Bayou
Gary Jaffe and Janet Devers

Drivin' alone out of Baton Rouge
With luck I'll make Shreveport by dawn
'Cause love hasn't lived in our apartment lately
If it had, you would have wept to find me gone

All those softly spoken promises
I believed them much too long
Summer steam rises off the bayou
The tires seem to hum a different song

Chorus:
Black Lake Bayou took me under its spell
I danced with joy to the zydeco noise
I was your sweet Joselle
But I won't be your prisoner,
and I won't take second place
The fire that lies in your cajun eyes can never be erased
In Black Lake Bayou

Don't think it doesn't hurt to leave
The cost of losing love is never cheap
But there in the laughter and confetti babe
were too many nights I couldn't sleep
