Louis E Mowry the third Who went by the nickname of Buddy Would never refuse a request To boil crawfish for his family and friends Louis E Mowry the third Who went by the nickname of Buddy Led a life that tells a helluva story But today is the day that it ends He Was the only son of Peggy and Louis A young couple once happily married Was born and raised and died right here in Shreveport And today it will be where he's buried As a young boy he tended livestock and horses And came runnin when his mom or dad beckoned Grew up to be a man's man who learned all that he knew From his father, Louis Mowry the second Louis E Mowry the third Who went by the nickname of Buddy Would never refuse a request To boil crawfish for his family and friends Louis E Mowry the third Who went by the nickname of Buddy Led a life that tells a helluva story But today is the day that it ends He Was recruited in high school to play college football And opportunities like that are scant Blew his knee out in a game, kissed his college goodbye and went to work in a meat packing plant He Was the driver in a terrible car crash A young lady died in that wreck He Wore the guilt of that crash like a boat anchor That He carried around on his neck Louis E Mowry the third Who went by the nickname of Buddy Would never refuse a request To boil crawfish for his family and friends Louis E Mowry the third Who went by the nickname of Buddy Led a life that tells a helluva story But today is the day that it ends He Found his calling in the business of liquor He paid his bills and raised a family off it Was like a fox put in charge of the hen house He was known to drink a lot of his profit He Was the grand poobah down at the elks lodge It's a tough job, you have to respect it Liked to gamble on football, in fact he still owes me money But I suppose it's too late to collect it Louis E Mowry the third Who went by the nickname of Buddy Would never refuse a request To boil crawfish for his family and friends Louis E Mowry the third Who went by the nickname of Buddy Led a life that tells a helluva story But today is the day that it ends He Was a massive man with big hands and biceps His physique was a source of much pride Was not a man that you wanted to mess with I endeavored to stay on his good side. He could hunt, he could fish, build a deck, drive a boat He was at home on land or on water. He's survived by his wife, his father, two sisters And Brittany, his beautiful daughter Louis E Mowry the third Who went by the nickname of Buddy Would never refuse a request To boil crawfish for his family and friends Louis E Mowry the third Who went by the nickname of Buddy Led a life that tells a helluva story But today is the day that it ends Five years ago they discovered his cancer They give him 6 months to live at the most It ate away at him slowly for five torturous years Until he finally gave up the ghost. But Let's remember him strong as a bull ox He'd bring a big pot of crawfish to boil And let's remember our journeys have the same destination We're all going to back to the soil
