"Bayou Baby (A Cajun Lullaby)" lyrics
(Bayou, bayou, bayou, bayou)
Oh, the scissortail roosts on a telephone pole
When the evening is old and the bayou is cold
Then we've got a lot of a-fishin' to do
Tomorrow I'll come back to you
Oh bayou, my baby, on the bayou tonight
To a katydid's serenade, my chérie sleep tight
And dream of tomorrow when fishin' is through
I'll fly o'er the bayou to you
(Bayou, bayou, bayou, bayou)
When the old horned owl in the piney woods yell
Don't worry my bell, my sweet mademoiselle
'Cause everything gonna be sans se gourer
Tomorrow for you and for me
Oh bayou, my baby, on the bayou tonight
To a katydid's serenade, my chérie sleep tight
And dream of tomorrow when fishin' is through
I'll fly o'er the bayou to you
I'll fly o'er the bayou to you
(Bayou, bayou, bayou)
Oh, the scissortail roosts on a telephone pole
When the evening is old and the bayou is cold
Then we've got a lot of a-fishin' to do
Tomorrow I'll come back to you
Oh bayou, my baby, on the bayou tonight
To a katydid's serenade, my chérie sleep tight
And dream of tomorrow when fishin' is through
I'll fly o'er the bayou to you
(Bayou, bayou, bayou, bayou)
When the old horned owl in the piney woods yell
Don't worry my bell, my sweet mademoiselle
'Cause everything gonna be sans se gourer
Tomorrow for you and for me
Oh bayou, my baby, on the bayou tonight
To a katydid's serenade, my chérie sleep tight
And dream of tomorrow when fishin' is through
I'll fly o'er the bayou to you
I'll fly o'er the bayou to you
(Bayou, bayou, bayou)
