From the recordings Fee Comes Fourth and 81 - The Catahoula Leopard Dog
Lyrics
Badahdah, Badahdah Badahdah Badahdah
Badahdah Badahdah Badumbumbum
Strange dream on a rainy night
A creature with mysterious powers
A shadow without a light
A roar in the thunder showers
I’m not scared but I feel a chill
It’s a break from the raging fever
Ain’t one for taking pills
And I ain’t no believer
But there was a moment in my vision
When I thought I might encounter God
He came to me like a magic spell
The Catahuola Leopard Dog
The Catahoula Leopard Dog
The Catahoula Leopard Dog
Don’t mess with him
Badahdah, Badahdah Badahdah Badahdah
Badahdah Badahdah Badumbumbum
Badahdah, Badahdah Badahdah Badahdah
Badahdah Badahdah
He spoke to me
I’ve wandered all through the land
Seen the poison waste of humans
Through the ghettos and desert sands
Shangai, L.A. and London
Can’t deny I saw beauty
But mainly I was blinded by bling
Now it’s my solemn duty
This warning song to sing
Oh there was a moment on my travels
When I thought I might encounter God
But there are no magic spells and I’m
The Catahoula Leopard Dog
The Catahoula Leopard Dog
The Catahoula Leopard Dog
Don’t mess with me
Badahdah, Badahdah Badahdah Badahdah
Badahdah Badahdah Badumbumbum
Badahdah, Badahdah Badahdah Badahdah
Badahdah Badahdah Badumbumbum
You gotta act man, I’m a dog
Can’t lead you where you won’t go now
It’s not a difficult job
You just gotta learn to slow down
C’mon clean up your shit
If you wanna wander this park
And don’t do so much of it
There ain’t no Noah’s Ark
To save you from yourself boy
You can’t even be saved by God
Don’t go making this earth a hell
Coz I’m
The Catahoula Leopard Dog
The Catahoula Leopard Dog
The Catahoula Leopard Dog
The Catahoula Leopard Dog
The Catahoula Leopard Dog
The Catahoula Leopard Dog
Don’t mess with me
