E - 7th fret
On the bayou muddy waters warm
A E
And mosquitoes got a place to swarm
B D
And the gumbo's always hot on the bayou,
G F#m E A G E
Down in Cajun country.
On the bayou you better take your fishing pole
And if you're thirsty,
I got some Dixie's icy cold.
Try some Crawfish Etouffe, Oyster Po'boy,
Down in Cajun country.
{riff 1 - three times}
On the bayou I met Alligator Henri.
He was poaching, but that ain't the story he tried to tell me.
Born and raised in New Orleans, he's a Creole
Down in Cajun country.
{riff 1 - three times}
On the bayou's only place I feel at home
And I'll never, never, never feel the need to roam.
I'm a Coonass through and through
I don't care none
Down in Cajun Country.
{riff 1}
