Breaux Bridge Betty called me up on the party line,

Said, "Baby I just gotta know,

If you got some-a-dat "Make me feel so fine",

I'm talking about that Filé Gumbo.

"Betty," I said, "I got what you gotta have,

I made some just a little while ago.

It's got a black pot roux and some ground up sassafras,

I'm talking about that Filé Gumbo."

Bring that boy some -a-dat Filé Gumbo,

Bring that boy a bowl.

Bring that boy some-a-dat Filé Gumbo,

Hurry up before it gets cold.

I quiver and I shiver from the feeling it delivers,

And I keep coming back for just a little more.

It's got the right spice to make me feel so nice,

My Louisiana Filé Gumbo.

So if you down in the dumps and you're stuck in a slump,

And you're looking up the wrong end of the blues.

Have yourself some-a-dat Filé Gumbo,

More better than that chcken bar-b-q.

Bridge:

Gumbo filé makes me feel so good.

Although I eat it more ofter than I really should,

But if I could I surely would have some more gumbo
