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 ive by the old bayou
Eat a lotsa shrimp and crawfish 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...
