Arlie Conner: Music

Gator Farm

Chorus:
Back (gotta get back), Back (gotta get back) Back to yer alligator farm
Back (gotta get back), Back (gotta get back) Back to yer alligator farm

Way back down where I come from Louisiana was my home
The trees are full of Spanish moss and the wild alligators roam
I learned how to round them up Built for them, a swimming pool
Hired a guy from New Orleans zoo He took the ‘gator tots’ to school

Then one day the wind came up So much rain, the levee broke
All the ‘gators learned to fly There was no farm when I awoke

So I went north and found a job working in a lumber mill
I get my fill of shrimp and pig But I miss those gator’s still

Everybody say to me Girl you’re looking pale and wan
You better get back down the road back to your alligator farm

Back (gotta get back), Back (gotta get back) Back to yer alligator farm
Back (gotta get back), Back (gotta get back) Back to yer alligator farm

Gonna be a millionaire Selling skins to Romeo
He’ll take me to the opera Ah, but I’ll give him zydeco
Everybody say to me (girl) Boy you’re looking pale and wan
You better get back down the road back to your alligator farm

Everybody say to me Boy you’re looking pale and wan…
You better get back down the road back to your alligator farm…

Way back down where I come from… Louisiana was my home
