Bayou Girl - Adam Hood

I know a girl named Dee-Dee, she’s a good friend of mine

Livin' on the bayous in Evangeline

Pretty as a picture in a magazine

About the prettiest little thing you ever seen

Back up on the muddy water, down where the big fish go

I’m a-runnin' 'long the banks in a little pirogue

And all day long what I’m thinkin' of

I’m a-hopin' I can snare me a little cajun dove

She lives down in a two-bit town

Where the palmetto grows all around

Anywhere in the whole damn world

You won’t never find love like a bayou girl

We were sittin' in a shotgun cabin a-sippin' a little sherry wine

Sure do have some fun, sure do have a real good time

Laughin' and a-singin' I guarantee

To the adelide-a and a-fiddle-dee-dee

Well someday we’re gonna get married, she will be my bride

Many people’ll come and watch us stand side-by-side

Gonna have her little band play fais do-do

Étouffée and a hot gumbo

She lives down in a two-bit town

Where the palmetto grows all around

Anywhere in the god almighty world

You won’t ever find love like a bayou girl

There ain’t nothin' in the world like a bayou girl

Oh, like a bayou girl

Well there ain’t nothin' like a bayou girl
