Belle Cady © 2009 Greg C. Brown/Janice Hopkins/Mark D. Preston

Down on the Bayou near a swamp filled with cypress
There’s a winding path stays worn bare
Traveled every night by eager young men
Drawn into a tempress’ lair

Verse 2:

A moss covered shack on stilts in low water
A flickering light points the way
Innocent hearts burnin' hot
Like a pig at a cochon du lait

Chorus:



Belle Cady in the pitch black night
Haloed by the glow of candle light
Reaches down deep and finds a man
Where a scared young boy began
Not just a woman, but a special kind of lady
Everybody knows the name…Belle Cady

Verse 3:

Her family tree branched from up north in Quebec
Now a hundred years or more
She never had more than a whole lot of pride
At least they know her name for sure

Verse 4:

The dangers from the snakes and the alligators
Is nothing like a touch from Belle
The moon hangs quiet, a silent witness
As she takes them all under her spell



Repeat Chorus:

Bridge:

Mothers cry, “Stay outta dem woods,
Dat woman, she be no good”
Still they all seek out her truth
Striking bargains with their youth



Repeat Chorus:

Tag:
Belle Cady in the pitch black night
Belle Cady they know her name alright….
Belle Cady….
