Bayou Boy

Way down deep in the Lousianna swamp where the sun don't ever shine
There's a long-haired boy fishing on the bayou he's got my heart on the line
He's got coal black hair eyes blue as a soft shell a red hot cajun heart
And you know tonight he'll be headin' my way and he won't be afraid of the dark
Who's that walking through the swamp tonight
Slipping by the gators in the pale moonlight
Coming my way to make me feel just right
It's my bayou boy bayou boy
The days are long as a shrimpboat's trawl and they drag into the night
The nights are warm as the Delta sun and as free as a Yankee dime
And I'm just sittin' with my rat-tail fan in the land of the cajun moon
Waitin' for a sign that he made a catch and he'll be coming home real soon
Who's that walking through the swamp tonight
Slipping by the gators in the pale moonlight
Coming my way to make me feel just right
It's my bayou boy
[ piano fiddle ]
Who's that walking through the swamp tonight
Slipping by the gators in the pale moonlight
Coming my way to make me feel just right
Way down deep in the Lousiana swamp where the sun don't ever shine
There's a long-haired boy fishing on the bayou someday's he's gonna be mine
With his coal black hair eyes blue as a soft shell his red hot cajun heart
And you know tonight he'll be headin' my way and he won't be afraid of the dark
Who's that walking through the swamp tonight...
It's my bayou boy bayou boy bayou boy
