CAJUN BABY
Recorded by: Hank Williams, Jr.
Lyrics by Hank Williams, Sr.
Music by Hank Williams, Jr.
CHORUS
[C] Way down yonder in the Bay-ou country
In [F] dear old [C] Louisan'
That's where lives my Ca-[*D/F#] jun Baby
The [D] fairest one in the [F] land
Her [C] teeth are white and pearly
Hair black as coal
I [F] wouldn't trade my Cajun Baby
[C] For the world's gold
Way down yonder in the Bay-ou country
In [F] dear old [C] Louisan'
[C] My hearts been sad and lonely
Sinc the [F] day I left her [C] side
But today I got [*D/F#] this letter
Said she'd [D] be my Cajun [F] bride
Gonna [C] go and wed my Cajun Baby
And [F] live by the old [C] Bayou
Eat a lots of shrimp and crawfish
Ride a-[F] round in my old [C] 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.
CHORUS
