E5 - 7th fret On the bayou muddy waters warm A5 E5 And mosquitoes got a place to swarm B5 D5 And the gumbo's always hot on the bayou, G5 F#5 E5 A5 G5 E5 Down in Cajun country. On the bayou you better take your fishing pole And if you're thirsty, I got some Dixie's icy cold. Try some Crawfish Etouffe, Oyster Po'boy, Down in Cajun country. {riff 1 - three times} On the bayou I met Alligator Henri. He was poaching, but that ain't the story he tried to tell me. Born and raised in New Orleans, he's a Creole Down in Cajun country. {riff 1 - three times} On the bayou's only place I feel at home And I'll never, never, never feel the need to roam. I'm a Coonass through and through I don't care none Down in Cajun Country. {riff 1} G A G E D | ---------------- | ------------7--5- | ----- A | ----------3--5-- | ----------5------ | -7--- E | -3--4-/-5------- | -5--6-/-7-------- | ----- Copyright EMI Music Publishing; reprinted with kind permission.
