Bellamy Brothers Catahoula
Well I left Okachobie I was on a quest
Stopped at Wickie Watchi where the mermaids nest
I seen Stock Choppie, I turned it left
Hit Appolachie Cola, headed west
Crossed 2 more states and a drivin' range
Finally reached Lake Ponchatrain
In the bayou town I found my dream
In the purtiest hound you ever seen
CHORUS:
Catahoula, best friend I ever had
I scratch his ear and he brings my beer and comforts me
when I'm sad
My cajun queen went to New Orleans, spent up all my
mullah
Well I don't give a damn I'm a happy man I got a dog
called Catahoula
In a plywood shack eatin' e'toupe
Drinkin Dixie beer passin' time away
If the sun goes down on the legs of day
It's time to dance as the accordian plays
We'll hunt them 'possums by a southern moon
Just to hear 'em bark makes my heart swoon
From Atchapali to Chandelou
The zydeco rhythm and my old pal Blue
CHORUS
Well the crawfish boil and the alligators bark
Oh I want a little more tobasco salt
That sawin' fiddle sure feels fine
I'll sing his praise just one more time
CHORUS (2x)
I don't give a damn I'm a happy man I got a dog called
Catahoula
