Dusty Moats - Bayou

I've had all of this concrete jungle
A country boy can stand
There's a cajun queen that waits for me
Back in Louisian
I long to see that Spanish moss
Hangin from a cypress tree
Somewhere deep inside my soul
Black water's calling me

By you down on the bayou
That's where I wanna be
Where the catfish play and you sleep all day
The old folks ce las vie
A little rendevouz beneath the cajun moon
Sure enough do me good
I just wanna lay by you
Down on the bayou

I wanna paddle my pirogue eat a mess of gumbo
And hear that squeeze box play
Spend my dollar on the old French quarter
Where the parlez-vous Francais
The gators and the crickets and the frogs and the snakes
Are home sweet home to me
A little jambalaya and some crawfish pie
Are right there waiting on me

By you down on the bayou
That's where I wanna be
Where the catfish play and you sleep all day
The old folks ce las vie
A little rendevouz beneath the cajun moon
Sure enough do me good
I just wanna lay by you
Down on the bayou

By you down on the bayou
That's where I wanna be
Where the catfish play and you sleep all day
The old folks ce las vie
A little rendevouz beneath the cajun moon
Sure enough do me good
I just wanna lay by you
Down on the bayou
I said down on the bayou
Oh down on the bayou"
