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.
