CHORUS
D Way down yonder in the Bay-ou country
In A dear old D Louisan'
That's where lives my Ca-{*D/F#} jun Baby
The E fairest one in the A land
Her D teeth are white and pearly
Hair black as coal
I G wouldn't trade my Cajun Baby
D For the world's gold
Way down yonder in the Bay-ou country
In A dear old D Louisan'
D My hearts been sad and lonely
Sinc the G day I left her D side
But today I got {*D/F#} this letter
Said she'd E be my Cajun A bride
Gonna D go and wed my Cajun Baby
And G live by the old D Bayou
Eat a lots of shrimp and crawfish
Ride a-{A} round in my old D 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.
