keep a little corn pone cooking on the stove
keep a sharp look out down around the cove
fancy up my dress
wear a pretty hair bow
johnny's coming home to the louisiana bayou
he's my man i tell you true
cajun honey i'm a gonna love you
we'll honeymoon in the old pirogue
when i get back to louisiana bayou
johnny's been working in a dirty old town
the breathing in smog is a getting him down
he's a coming home where the trees are gonna shelter
me and my honey on louisiana delta
he's my man i tell you true
cajun honey i'm a gonna love you
we'll honeymoon in the old pirogue
when i get back to louisiana bayou
we'll be a hunting us a little piece of ground
building us a house and settling down
raise a little cain and eat a little gumbo
do a heap of loving in louisiana bayou
