Yam Man from Bayou Tapestry by Adam Rudegeair

Yam Man
Copyright 2010 Adam Rudegeair

I’m a Yam Man
You find me down in the swamp
Grow my own food, grow my own home,
Right outta a stump.

You see I was hangin’ out with this girl,
By the name of Marie LaFayette,
Little did I know you see,
This fling I’d soon regret.
Her pa was the local conjure man,
She went and messed with the gris gris,
One night I drank too much, I made her mad
She took the black cat bone to me.

Shamblin’ Ramblin’, Lurkin’, Smirkin’, on Bayou St John,
Mossy, Glossy, Drippin’ Trippin’, getting’ my green groove on.

I’m a Yam Man
You find me down in the swamp
Grow my own food, grow my own home,
Right outta a stump

I live a life that’s dark and green,
Your bayou nightmare’s my mossy daydream
You saw me outta the corner of your eye
Deep shadows I was lurkin’,
You thought I was your imagination
Cause your mind I be murkin’

Shamblin’ Ramblin’, Lurkin’, Smirkin’, on Bayou St John,
Mossy, Glossy, Drippin’ Trippin’, getting’ my green groove on.

Yam Man
I got twisted vines for hands,
Gator eyes for eyes,
I chill beneath the mangroves,
Them Gaturs all my wives…

Shamblin’ Ramblin’, Lurkin’, Smirkin’, on Bayou St John,
Mossy, Glossy, Drippin’ Trippin’, getting’ my green groove on.
Shamblin’ Ramblin’, Lurkin’, Smirkin’, on Bayou St John,
Mossy, Glossy, Drippin’ Trippin’, getting’ my green groove on.
