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
