Murrell's Songtext
von Trout Fishing in America

Shreveport, Louisiana′s got a place called Murrell's
Shreveport, Louisiana′s got some pretty girls
Fried egg sandwich for a dollar and a dime
It doesn't cost much to have a real good time
Shreveport, Louisiana's got a place called Murrell′s

Ham hocks and butter beans, red beans and rice
Green Goddess dressing, man, it sure looks nice
Chicken and dumplins, chicken-fried steak
Corn bread and biscuits, man, they both taste great
Shreveport, Louisiana′s got a place called Murrell's

Buddy eats at George′s and we don't know why
We go to Murrell′s for the strawberry pie
Don eats at George's, you can find him there
He is Buddy′s buddy, but he ain't got any hair
That man got no hair
(Aw, he got a little on the side, gotta count for something now)


You know things were going so good for Murrell
He had to open up another place
It's right across the river, gon′ tell you about that one now

Bossier City, Louisiana′s got a place called Murrell's
Bossier City, Louisiana′s got some pretty girls
Sausage and syrup on a pancake stack
Ain't never been to Bossier and I′m never going back
Bossier, Louisiana's got a place called Murrell′s

So if you're getting hungry and you need a place to eat
And you're looking for a waitress that can knock you off your feet
East Kings Highway at Youree Drive
If you see Murrell, Jr., tell him we said hi
Shreveport, Louisiana′s got a place called Murrell′s
Shreveport, Louisiana's got a place called Murrell′s
(I can't remember Shreveport without it)
Shreveport, Louisiana′s got a place called Murrell's
Place called Murrell′s
