"Bus To Baton Rouge"

 

I had to go back to that house one more time

To see if Camellias were in bloom

For so many reasons it's been on my mind

The house on Belmont Avenue

 

Built up on cinderblocks off of the ground

What with the rain and the soft swampy land

By the sweet honeysuckle that grew all around

Were switches when we were bad
