Calilou

Well I'm finally goin' back to Louisiana

Runnin' and thumbin' all the way

That started out the way out in California

I been makin' bout five hundred miles a day

I covered all the beaches on the west coast

From Mexico to Crason City Bay

But Calilou was not in California

That's where her daddy came from by the way

And by the way her mother was a cajun

She came from New Orleans I've heard her say

And it's just like a girl to wanna see her mama

So I might find her there along the way

Calilou Calilou well they should have call you restless

Well they should have call you drifter

Yeah they should have call you trouble instead of Calilou

I recall the first time that I saw her

I picked her up near Phoenix in my car

Just another beauty seekin' fame and fortune

And I told her if she should be a movie star

The next time I saw her was Tucumcari

She served my bowl of chilly with a smile

I said it's been a year since I last saw you

Wonder how'd you like to share a few good miles

Well the justice of the peace was very sleepy

I held her in my arms a whole night long

I whispered words like settle down and family

And when I woke up my Calilou was gone

Calilou Calilou well they should have call you restless

Well they should have call you drifter

Yeah they should have call you trouble instead of Calilou

Calilou Calilou well they should have call you restless

Well they should have call you drifter

Yeah they should have call you trouble instead of Calilou
