On The Red River, on Bayou Pierre
Rosalee worked in White's Grocery
I'd get in trouble for goin' down there
She'd give me corn pops for free
Little red bike out on the main road
Lucky little girl
Little red bike out on the main road
Lucky little girl
Early in the mornin' brother and sister off at school
Mama sent me for wild flowers
Buttercups in the mornin' dew
A little red bike out on the main road too
Ghost tracks, water towers, picnics in a haunted roost
Horses waiting to be groomed need a little sugar too
Train game, moss monster, playin' down in the woods of bamboo
Mr. Black Snake ate all the bad snakes, Mr. Black Snake'll eat you too
Games turn into life
Once a tomboy now a tomwife
Little red bike out on the main road
Lucky little girl
Little red bike out on the main road
Lucky little girl
Lucky little girl
If you find some error in Main Road Lyrics, would you please submit your corrections to me? Thank You.
Thanks to GUNPOWDERandSKY for submitting the lyrics.
I first heard Main Road on a compilation album called Sweet Relief, which was, I believe, a benefit piece for an ailing singer/songwriter, if not Lucinda herself, I can not remember who.
I love the simplicity of this sone and the scratchy southern edge to the guitar.
The Lyrics evoke loss of innocence themes and the words "playin down in a woods of bamboo", for me , evoke images of young boys wandering about helpless in the Macong delta, playing war.
