Cajun Baby

[Chorus] Way down yonder in the bayou country in dear old Louisiana That's where lives my Cajun 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 bayou country in dear old Louisiana [Verse 1] 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 live by the old bayou Eat lotsa shrimp and crawfish, ride around in my old pirogue [Chorus] Way down yonder in the bayou country in dear old Louisiana That's where lives my Cajun 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 bayou country in dear old Louisiana [Verse 2] 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 livin' and lovin' by the old bayou [Chorus] Way down yonder in the bayou country in dear old Louisiana That's where lives my Cajun 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 bayou country in dear old Louisiana
