The Gumbo Man Lyrics by Stan Ridgway

The Gumbo Man Lyrics

    Water is crashin'
    On the rocks down below
    A side window rolls down
    On an el dorado

    Hear the hush of the voices
    There's a flash from inside
    And nobody bothers to conceal
    What they cannot hide


    Chorus:
    So if you see the gumbo man
    Tell him now he's gotta change his plan
    Stir it left and stir it right
    Eat it up until it's gone from sight



    From the top of a lighthouse
    A beacon shone out
    I draw a map to remember
    What nobody found out


    I woke up in the morning
    Stared in the glass
    I took a walk down the street
    And saw you comin' past


    Chorus repeat x2


    There's a worry on the burner
    A cold wind rushin' in
    And nobody did get out
    But somebody did get in


    I hear a creak on the stairway
    Outside the door
    Blue metal voices
    Are beggin' for more


    Chorus repeat x2
