1.From Cypress trees above 
  Spanish moss is hanging down 
  I cut off the motor  
  And I row without a sound 
    D 
  Slippin' through the darkness 
                      A 
  Girl I've come for you 
           E 
  I don't care if it's crazy 
  I don't care if it's wrong 
  I just know I gotta have you 
  Before the night is gone 
 
         A 
C.Bayou girl you're so fine 
         D                                A 
  A wild orchid bloomin' in the pale moonlight 
                  E 
  Make my heart pound 
            D 
  Dance me down 
         A 
  Bayou girl 
 
2.Your Daddy's huntin' gators 
  Your brother's up in jail 
  Your momma kinda likes me 
  I bet you she don't tell 
  She knows about young lovers  
  She was young one time too 
  Come on the time is right 
  the stars are shining bright 
  Ratydids and fiddle fill the night 
 
Repeat Chorus
