Gumbo Moon Lyrics

Gumbo Moon lyrics

Take me south of Buffalo

My feet are freezing cold

Take me south of Buffalo

My feet are freezing cold

New Orleans is calling me

Calling to my very soul



Take me down to the river

Build me a raft of twig and twine

Take me down to the river

Build me a raft of twig and twine

I'll float down that old river

'Til I taste that dandelion wine



River bring me swiftly

River run me smooth

Carry me over the mountains

'Til I'm under that gumbo moon



There's a brass band playing

I can hear them sweet and fine

There's a brass band playing

I can hear them sweet and fine

I will not stop my floating till

I cross that Louisiana line



River bring me swiftly

River run me smooth

Carry me over the mountains

'Til I'm under that gumbo moon
