  			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.
