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
