Gentilly Woman Songtext
von Louie Bankston

Gentilly baby, come back home with me
I′ve had a chicken look
And you make me wanna be such a better man
Look how you need the sea
I'm stuck here down in swampland
Cana doesn′t want me

Gentilly honey, you're the only one
When you get to New Orleans
We're gonna have some fun after the seven-year plan
But now′s the time to go
I know you love the family but you
Hate that fricken snow
Go King, go!


Gentilly woman, now I′m on the run
I robbed the federal bank
And they said I had a gun and that I killed a man
And I won't get no bail
If they ever catch me alive, I′ll get life in jail
And I can't do it

′Cause in the line of fire was a man of innocence
Who didn't wanna see no bloodshed
But he died at our expense, and I′m that fat rat who's gonna walk
Because I turned state's evidence
And you′re the one who′s on the run
'Cause I couldn′t stand with you by that tall electric fence
I got my time served on a suspended sentence

Gentilly sweetheart, it's the end of the line
We had a great run
But I can′t do, no time like those cons and junkies
Out in the prison yard
At my proper funeral
Please don't cry too hard
