Story behind the song
This is about the temptress, Belle Cady....Remember her name.
Lyrics
Belle Cady © 2009 Janice Hopkins/Greg C. Brown/Mark D. Preston
Down on the Bayou near a swamp filled with cypress
There’s a winding path stays worn bare
Traveled every night by eager young men
Drawn into a tempress’ lair
Verse 2:
A moss covered shack on stilts in low water
A flickering light points the way
Innocent hearts burnin' hot
Like a pig at a cochon du lait
Chorus:
Belle Cady in the pitch black night
Haloed by the glow of candle light
Reaches down deep and finds a man
Where a scared young boy began
Not just a woman, but a special kind of lady
Everybody knows the name…Belle Cady
Verse 3:
Her family tree branched from up north in Quebec
Now a hundred years or more
She never had more than a whole lot of pride
At least they know her name for sure
Verse 4:
The dangers from the snakes and the alligators
Is nothing like a touch from Belle
The moon hangs quiet, a silent witness
As she takes them all under her spell
Repeat Chorus:
Bridge:
Mothers cry, “Stay outta dem woods,
Dat woman, she be no good”
Still they all seek out her truth
Striking bargains with their youth
Repeat Chorus:
Tag:
Belle Cady in the pitch black night
Belle Cady they know her name alright….
Belle Cady….
