Bilingual
Diamond rings, limousines
Down home girl, uptown dreams
Penthouse suites, Broadway shows
They just don't move her like a Zydeco
She's gone up to the city
She don't know what to do
She got one foot in New York City
One foot in the bayou
Taxi cab, traffic jams
Sure do miss her candied yams
She packed her bags, you should have seen
That big suitcase full of turnip greens
She's gone up to the city
Still got mud on her shoes
She got one foot in New York City
One foot in the bayou
Nelson

If she's gone, I wish her well
She might come home, you just can't tell
But if she runs out of luck
I'll drive right up and get her in my truck
She's gone up to the city
She don't know what to do
She was born and raised in Morgan City
Still got mud on her shoes
She's got one foot in New York
One foot in the bayou
Do it, Jim
ย
One more time
ย
If she's gone, I wish her well
She might come home, you just can't tell
But if she runs out of luck
I'm gonna drive right up and get her in my truck
She's gone up to the city
She don't know what to do
She was born and raised in Morgan City
Still got mud on her shoes
She's got one foot in New York, y'all
One foot in the bayou
Yeah, she got one foot in New York City
One foot in the bayou
She got one foot in New York City
One foot in the bayou
