D E—00-2-3--|>>>>>>G
Well I'm finally goin' back to Louisiana
D G
Runnin' and thumbin' all the way
D G
Started out way out in California
D G
I been makin' bout five hundred miles a day
D G
I covered all the beaches on the west coast
D G
From Mexico Crason City Bay
D G
But Calilou was not in California
D G
That's where her daddy came from by the way
D G
And by the way her mother was a Cajun
D G
She came from New Orleans I've heard her say
D G
And it's just like a girl to wanna see her mama
D G
So I might find her there along the way
CHORUS:
D G
Calilou Calilou well they should have call you restless
D
Well they should have call you drifter
D G A D
Yeah they should have call you trouble instead of Calilou
D G
I recall the first time that I saw her
D G
I picked her up near Phoenix in my car
D G
Just another beauty seekin' fame and fortune
D G
And I told her if she should be a movie star
D G
The next time I saw her was Tucumcari
D G
She served my bowl of chili with a smile
D G
I said it's been a year since I last saw you
D G
Wonder how'd you like to share a few good miles
D G
Well the justice of the peace was very sleepy
D G
I held her in my arms a whole night long
D G
I whispered words like settle down and family
D G
And when I woke up my Calilou was gone
CHORUS:
D G
Calilou Calilou well they should have call you restless
D
Well they should have call you drifter
D G A D
Yeah they should have call you trouble instead of Calilou
CHORUS:
D G
Calilou Calilou well they should have call you restless
D
Well they should have call you drifter
D G A D
Yeah they should have call you trouble instead of Calilou
