The Gumbo Man Lyrics

Water is crashin' on the rocks down below

A side window rolls down on an El Dorado

Hear the hush of the voices...there's a flash from inside

And no one bothers to conceal what they cannot hide

CHORUS

So if you see the gumbo man

Tell him now he's gotta change his plan

Stir it left and stir it right

Eat it up until it's gone from sight

Frome top of the lighthouse a beacon shown down

Draw a map  to remember what nobody found out

I woke up in the mornin'...stared in the glass

I took a walk down the street, then saw you comin' past

CHORUS

There's a worry on the burner

A cold wind rushin' in

And nobody got out, but somebody did get in

There's a creak on the stairway outside the door

Blue metal voices are beggin' for more

CHORUS
