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
