G C D
[Verse 1]
G D
Well I'm finally goin' back to Louisiana
D G
Runnin' and thumbin' all the way
G C
That started out wayout in California
C D
I been makin' bout five hundred miles a day
G D
I covered all the beaches on the west coast
D G
From Mexico Crason City Bay
G C
But Calilou was not in California
C D
That's where her daddy came from by the way
C G
And by the way her mother was a cajun
C G
She came from New Orleans I've heard her say
C G
And it's just like a girl to wanna see her mama
D G
So I might find her there along the way
[Chorus]
C G G
Calilou Calilou well they should have call you restless
D
Well they should have called you drifter
C D G
Yeah, they should have called you trouble instead of Calilou
[Verse 2]
G D
I recall the first time that I saw her
D G
I picked her up near Phoenix in my car
G C
Just another beauty seekin' fame and fortune
C D
And I told her she should be a movie star
G D
The next time I saw her was Tucumcari
D G
She served my bowl of chili with a smile
G C
I said it's been a year since I last saw you
C D
Wonder how'd you like to share a few good miles
C G
Well the justice of the peace was very sleepy
C G
I held her in my arms the whole night long
C G
I whispered words like settle down and family
D G
And when I woke up my Calilou was gone
[Chorus]
C G G
Calilou Calilou well they should have call you restless
G D
And they should have call you drifter
C D G
Yeah they should have call you trouble instead of Calilou
C G G
Calilou Calilou well they should have call you restless
G D
And they should have call you drifter
C D G
Yeah they should have call you trouble instead of Calilou
