Mud bug Stew, Black beans and rice Collard greens and fat back boiled up Nice Nothing like a Bowl of Fila Gumbo Boozoo Chavez play the Crawfish mombo Blind drunk Betting, and Letting Dollars go And he blew it all on horses and Ho's Boozoo got a taste of Cold Cash And Cadillacs Clifton Chenier in Lake Charles too Snook right past ole drunk Boozoo His accordian tunes Ripped right By Boozoo Chavez who did not Know How Clifton Chenier became The KING of ZYDECO

CRAWFISH MOMBO
Mud bug Stew, Black beans and rice Collard greens and fat back boiled up Nice Nothing like a Bowl of Fila Gumbo Boozoo Chavez play the Crawfish mombo Blind drunk Betting, and Letting Dollars go And he blew it all on horses and Ho's Boozoo got a taste of Cold Cash And Cadillacs Clifton Chenier in Lake Charles too Snook right past ole drunk Boozoo His accordian tunes Ripped right By Boozoo Chavez who did not Know How Clifton Chenier became The KING of ZYDECO
*inspired by Historical basis... true Story from the Bayou... The very first Zydeco Song ever recorded was "Paper in my Shoe" by Boozoo Chavez the Flip side was "No Paper in my Shoe" well Boozoo got a taste of Cold Cash And Cadilacs and he blew it all on horses and Ho's, While he was partying it Clifton Chenier worked hard and played long nights ending up the King of Zydeco both had songs in 1953 both from Lake Charles Loisiana All the Work here is licensed under the Name ®SilverSilkenTongue and the © Property of J.Flack
