Calilou Chords & Lyrics - Johnny Cash

Well I'm [G]finally goin' back to L[D]ouisiana
[D]Runnin' and thumbin' all[G] the way
That started out wayout in [C]California
I been makin' bout five hundred [D]miles a day
[G]I covered all the beaches on the[D] west coast
[D]From Mexico Crason [G]City Bay
[G]But Calilou was not in [C]California
[C]That's where her daddy came from by[D] the way
[C]And by the way her mother was a [G]cajun
[C]She came from New Orleans I've h[G]eard her say
[C]And it's just like a girl to wan[G]na see her mama
[D]So I might find her there along [G]the way

[CHORUS;]
[C]Calilou Cal[G]ilou well they should have call you r[G]estless
Well they should have call you d[D]rifter
[C]Yeah they should have call you trouble i[D]nstead of Cal[G]ilou

[VERSE 2]
I recall the first time that I saw her
I picked her up near Phoenix in my car
Just another beauty seekin' fame and fortune
And I told her she should be a movie star
The next time I saw her was Tucumcari
She served my bowl of chili with a smile
I said it's been a year since I last saw you
Wonder how'd you like to share a few good miles
Well the justice of the peace was very sleepy
I held her in my arms the whole night long
I whispered words like settle down and family
And when I woke up my Calilou was gone
Calilou Calilou well they should have call you restless
And they should have call you drifter
Yeah they should have call you trouble instead of Calilou(2X)
