My tribute to Little Feat. Written with my long time partner Dr. Dave Smith from Orange County California. One of the best "Song directors" I work with.
My Oh Mayoh
Dave Smith/MAB
My Oh, Mayoh, you're the Bayou Delta queen
Broke every young man's heart
From Baton Rouge to New Orleans
Hey ya hey ya
Every day's a Mardi Gras Day
Like My Oh, Mayoh
Let's les bon ton roules' (Let the good times roll)
In the Heart of the Crescent City,down along Jackson street
There's a girl up on the Balcony, of the Hotel Jean Lefite
Got Coal Black hair down to her waist, Legs all tanned and smooth
When she bends over throwing beads, you can see her attributes
But like a fine pot of gumbo, got a whole lot going on
The boys below call her "Mayoh" Sing their favrite song!!!
Chorus
She was born back in da bayou, back up in dem woods
Her daddy named her Mayoh, said dat' girl is so good
When she moved to da city, when had turned 16
Good Friday became GREAT FRIDAY, when she walks down da street
Now Everyman who sees her, falls under her spell
But there are few that love her, live to tell the tale
Chorus
Bridge
Everybody craves perfection, just like Filet Mignon
But this girl just might kill you, cause Mayoh is DA BOMB!
So join the celebration at the hotel Jean Lafite'
And maybe if she winks at you, you can catch her beads
Chorus
