Artist/Band: Hank Williams Sr.
Lyrics for Song: Cajun Baby
Lyrics for Album: Back to Back [1992]



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...
