Lucky Mud: Music

Saturday Night Cockfight 2:09

(Lucky Mud/ Southern Zen Music - BMI 2007)
Saturday night Cockfight
Chicken wire and tin
Daddy brought the family
And he parked beside
The kinfolks
Oyster shell parking lot
Louisiana swamp
'Lilly, take the baby, while we put some money up'
So Lilly takes the baby
She goes to Charley's side
Saturday night cockfight
A Louisiana night

Two cocks in the cage
Whirling bloody spurs
Mama orders chicken dinners
Extra slaw with hers
Sister wants a Dr. Pepper
Daddy wants a beer
The black rooster goes down
Everybody cheers
Lilly squeezes Charley
And they take a walk outside
Saturday night cockfight
Another rooster dies

Then daddy wins 20 dollars
Has another drink
Mama gets the kids
And heads off
To the roller rink
Later on she sits with daddy
In a folding chair
He kisses all her fingers
He smells her braided hair
Smoke from the factory
Blurs the golden lights
All along the bayou
On a Louisiana night
