M'Nonc Bayou
by Tom Douglass
Tom worked with Mitch at Hamon Entreprises. Mitch nicknamed him "Ten To Tommy" because he always showed up for work 10 minutes early.
There’s a place,
On the corner out of the way
There was a man
Who’s glowing smile will never fade
A man who knew
How to make anyone’s day
He’d smile and joke
With anyone who came that way
He’d change your tires
He’d change your mood
He’d make you smile
And make you laugh
A man like that will always last
Woh, woh, M’Nonc Bayou x2
A master chef
He’d cook a feast just for you
A connoisseur
Of wines, women and the truth
A friend to tell
Your fears and faults to
A man who knew
How to be a friend so true
Woh woh, M’Nonc Bayou x2
REFRAIN
Apprends-moi,
Enseignes-moi
À être comme toi.
Yah M’Nonc Bayou
A man to look up to
I wanna be just like you
You changed my world.
Yah M’Nonc Bayou,
There will never be two
Just like you
You changed the world
There’s a place,
On the corner out of the way
There was a man
Whose glowing smile will never fade
A man who knew
How to make anyone’s day
He’d smile and joke
With anyone who came that way
Great men don’t change
They change the world
And in that way they will always stay
And in that way they never fade.
He’d change your tires
He’d change your mood
He’d make you smile
And make you laugh
A man like that will always last
