Hank Williams Sr. Lyrics
"Cajun Baby"

Way down yonder in the bayou country
In dear old Louisianne
That's where live's my cajun baby
The fairest one in the land.

Her teeth're white and pearly
Hair black as coal
Wouldn't trade my cajun baby
For the world's gold.

Way down yonder in the bayou country
In dear old Louisianne.

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 a lotsa shrimp and crawfish
Ride around in my old pirogue.

Way down yonderr in the bayou country
In dear old Louisianne.

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 a livin' and a lovin' by the old bayou.

Way down yonderr in the bayou country
In dear old Louisianne...
