Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Born by the levee bend
Where the water talks back
Mamma hung clothes on the line
Daddy worked till dark
We learned the road in mud
And the cane rows by heart
Barefoot through the parish heat
With a grin and a spark
[Pre-Chorus]
When the river rose high
We all came home
When the moon got low
We would roam and roam
Hand me that old tune
Let it roll, let it roll
[Chorus]
Barefoot on the levee
Barefoot all night
Cane field dust on our knees
Heaven felt right
Barefoot on the levee
We lived that way
Dance till the dawn
Then we’d laugh all day
[Verse 2]
After supper we’d slip out
Past the screen door creak
Down where the cypress leans
And the frogs all speak
Cold sweet tea in a jar
And a radio hum
Every cousin knew the steps
When the new moon come
[Pre-Chorus]
When the river rose high
We all came home
When the moon got low
We would roam and roam
Hand me that old tune
Let it roll, let it roll
[Chorus]
Barefoot on the levee
Barefoot all night
Cane field dust on our knees
Heaven felt right
Barefoot on the levee
We lived that way
Dance till the dawn
Then we’d laugh all day
[Bridge]
Now the years done turned
But I still can see
Those muddy little feet
Running wild and free
If the band starts up
I’m young again
I hear that old Louisiana
Calling me in
[Chorus]
Barefoot on the levee
Barefoot all night
Cane field dust on our knees
Heaven felt right
Barefoot on the levee
We lived that way
Dance till the dawn
Then we’d laugh all day
