Cajun Baby
Way down yonder in the bayou country, in dear old Louisianne
That's where I met my Cajun baby, the fairest one in the land
Her teeth are white and pearly, hair black as coal
I wouldn't trade my Cajun baby for the world's gold
Way down yonder in the bayou country, in dear old Louisianne
My heart's been sad and lonely since the day I left her side
But today I got her letter, said she'd be my Cajun bride
I'm gonna go and get my Cajun baby and live by the old bayou
Eat a lotta shrimp and crawfish and pole around in my old pirogue
Way down yonder in the bayou country, in dear old Louisianne
That's where I met my Cajun baby, the fairest one in the land
Her teeth are white and pearly, hair black as coal
I wouldn't trade my Cajun baby for the world's gold
Way down yonder in the bayou country, in dear old Louisianne
Alright!
Before the sun goes down this evenin', I'll be on my way
To see my Cajun baby and there I'm gonna stay
On a Saturday night, we'll go dancin' and listen to the fiddle, oh
Lord, I got me a Cajun baby, just a-livin' and lovin' by the old bayou
Way down yonder in the bayou country, in dear old Louisianne
That's where I met my Cajun baby, the fairest one in the land
Her teeth are white and pearly, hair black as coal
I wouldn't trade my Cajun baby for the world's gold
Way down yonder in the bayou country, in dear old Louisianne
