Down Louisiana, close to Mobile, Alabama
Lies a swamp land territory
You can ear the bullfrom run into the bog
I got to pull you under my roof
Saturday night, I've been feelin' alright
I'm headed toward the Snake Road hut
I got a little money, gonna spread some honey
Gonna get it on all night

Diggin' that crazy Cajun Cakewalk band
Crazy Cajun Cakewalk band
Rhythm is a' heavy as a ton o' lead
Redbone, baby, is gonna do your head

Go an' do it to it, let me see ya do it
Let me see ya do the rawbone shake
Poppa's got it goin', momma's got it goin'
Baby sister's had it goin' for years
Saturday night, I didn't feelin' alright
Headed toward the Snake Road hut
Got a little money, gonna spread some honey
Gonna get it on all night

Diggin' that crazy Cakewalk band
Diggin' that crazy Cakewalk band
Rhythm is a' heavy as a ton o' lead
Redbone, momma, is gonna do your head

Robert Allen Palmer (19 January 1949 – 26 September 2003) was an English singer-songwriter[1] and musician. He was known for his distinctive soulful voice, eclectic mix of musical styles on his albums, combining soul, jazz, rock, pop, reggae and blues and sartorial acumen. He found success both in his solo career and with the Power Station, and had Top 10 songs in both the UK and the US.

His iconic music videos directed by British fashion photographer Terence Donovan for the hits “Addicted to Love” and “Simply Irresistible” featured identically dressed dancing women with pale faces, dark eye makeup and bright red lipstick, which resembled the women in the art of Patrick Nagel, an artist popular in the 1980s. Palmer’s involvement in the music industry commenced in the 1960s, covered four decades and included a spell with Vinegar Joe.
