Well I'm Gfinally goin' back to LDouisiana
DRunnin' and thumbin' allG the way
That started out wayout in CCalifornia
I been makin' bout five hundred Dmiles a day
GI covered all the beaches on theD west coast
DFrom Mexico Crason GCity Bay
GBut Calilou was not in CCalifornia
CThat's where her daddy came from byD the way
CAnd by the way her mother was a Gcajun
CShe came from New Orleans I've hGeard her say
CAnd it's just like a girl to wanGna see her mama
DSo I might find her there along Gthe way
Chorus;
CCalilou CalGilou well they should have call you rGestless
Well they should have call you dDrifter
CYeah they should have call you trouble iDnstead of CalGilou
Verse 2
I recall the first time that I saw her
I picked her up near Phoenix in my car
Just another beauty seekin' fame and fortune
And I told her she should be a movie star
The next time I saw her was Tucumcari
She served my bowl of chili with a smile
I said it's been a year since I last saw you
Wonder how'd you like to share a few good miles
Well the justice of the peace was very sleepy
I held her in my arms the whole night long
I whispered words like settle down and family
And when I woke up my Calilou was gone
Calilou Calilou well they should have call you restless
And they should have call you drifter
Yeah they should have call you trouble instead of Calilou(2X)
