Chorus
Way down yonder in the Bay-ou country
In dear old Louisan'
That's where lives my Ca-[*D/F#] jun 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 Bay-ou country
In dear old Louisan'
My hearts been sad and lonely
Sinc the day I left her side
But today I got [*D/F#] this letter
Said she'd be my Cajun bride
Gonna go and wed my Cajun Baby
And live by the old Bayou
Eat a lots of shrimp and crawfish
Ride a- round in my old piroque.
Chorus
Before the sun goes down this eve-nin'
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
Lawd! I got me a Cajun Baby
Just livin' and lovin' by the old Bay-ou.
