| Way down yonder in the bayou country in dear old Louisianne
|
| That’s where live’s my Cajun baby the fairest one in the land
|
| Her teeth’re white and pearly hair black as coal
|
| 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
|
| Gonna go and wed my Cajun baby and I’ve by the old bayou
|
| Eat a lots a shrimp and craw fish ride around in my old pirogue
|
| Way down yonder
|
| Before the sun goes down this evening I’ll be on my way
|
| To see my Cajun baby and there I’m gonna stay
|
| On a Saturday night we go dancin' and listen to the fiddle-o
|
| Lord I got me a Cajun baby just a livin' and a lovin' by the old bayou
|
| Way down yonder |
