I know a girl named Edie
She?s a good friend of mine
Living on the bayou
On Evangeline
Well she's pretty as a picture
In a magazine
She ?bout the prettiest little thing
You ever seen
Well I?m back upon muddy water
Down where the big fish go
Running on the banks
In a little pi-reaux
And all day long
What I?m thinking of
Well I?m hoping I can snag me
A little Cajun dove
She lives down
In a 2 bit town
Where the Palmetto Grows
All around
Anywhere
In the whole damn world
You won?t never find love
Like a bayou girl
Well I?m sitting in a shotgun cabin
Sippin Little Sherry Wine
We sure do have some fun
Sure do have a real good time
Laughing and a singing
I guarantee
To the ?adoline?
And the ?fiddle dee dee?
Someday were gonna get married
She will be my bon ton bride
Many people come
And Watch us stand side by side
Gonna have a little band
Play feux deaux deaux
Etoufee
And a hot gumbo
She lives down
In a 2 bit town
With a Palmetto Grows
All around
Anywhere
In the God Al mighty World
You won?t never find love
Like a bayou girl
Ain?t nothing the world
Like a bayou girl
