D
Well I left Okachobie I was on a quest
G
Stopped at Wickie Watchi where the mermaids nest
D
I seen Stock Choppie, I turned it left
G
Hit Appolachie Cola, headed west

Crossed 2 more states and a drivin' range
G
Finally reached Lake Ponchatrain
D
In the bayou town I found my dream
N/C
In the purtiest hound you ever seen
CHORUS:
G D
Catahoula, best friend I ever had
G
I scratch his ear and he brings my beer and comforts me when I'm sad
C
My cajun queen went to New Orleans, spent up all my mullah
D G
Well I don't give a damn I'm a happy man I got a dog called Catahoula
INTRO
D
In a plywood shack eatin' e'toupe
G
Drinkin Dixie beer passin' time away
D
If the sun goes down on the legs of day
G
It's time to dance as the accordian plays
C
We'll hunt them 'possums by a southern moon
G
Just to hear 'em bark makes my heart swoon
D
N/C
The zydeco rhythm and my old pal Blue
CHORUS
D G D G
C
Well the crawfish boil and the alligators bark

Oh I want a little more tobasco salt

That sawin' fiddle sure feels fine
