Hey hey
Hey hey
Here I am
I'm a blue baby
With a premonition
Lucky Cajun queen a knowing
Lucky Cajun queen a knowing
Evil comes a flying
A flying so low
The sky is turning poison
Hey hey hey hey
Hey hey hey hey
Helicopter a coming
Helicopter a coming
To take me far away
Two fingered gypsy came
Is going to Wounded Knee
Lucky Cajun queen a knowing
Lucky Cajun queen a knowing
I'm gonna be a hero
Gonna have my body sack with me
Bye bye bayou
Bye bye bayou
Bye bye bayou
Bye bye bayou
Bye bye Delta blues
Bye bye Delta blues
Unlucky baby
Unlucky baby
Prophet X is a coming
Prophet X is a coming
Ace of spades by his side
Ace of spades by his side
Hey hey yeah
Hey hey yeah
Here I am
Helicopter a flying
A long way down south
A secret mission town
In the USA
In the USA
Lucky Cajun queen a knowing
Bout the blue light squadron
Bout the blue light squadron
Here as a witness
I never had a chance
Cartoon creeps a playing
Playing heavy games
They're sending me to my home
In a one way ticket body sack
Just like [?]
An unknown hero
Bye bye bayou
Bye bye bayou
Bye bye bayou
Bye bye bayou
Bye bye bayou
Bye bye Delta blues
Bye bye Delta blues
Bye bye gypsy baby
Bye bye gypsy baby
Rattlesnake
Rattlesnake
Hey hey hey
Hey hey hey
Hey hey hey
Hey hey hey
Hey hey hey
Hey hey hey
Here I am
Here I am
Unknown hero
Unknown hero

Goodbye
Goodbye
O unlucky baby
O unlucky baby
Prophet X is a coming
Prophet X is a coming
Ace of spades by his side
Ace of spades by his side
Bye bye bayou
Bye bye bayou
