[Verse 1:]
Keep a little corn pone cooking on the stove
Keep a sharp look out down around the cove
Fancy up my dress
And wear a pretty hair bow
Johnny's coming home to the Louisiana Bayou
[Chorus:]
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 the Louisiana Bayou
[Verse 2:]
Johnny's been working in a dirty old town
And 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
[Repeat Chorus:]
[Bridge:]
We'll be a hunting us a little piece of ground
Building us a house and a settling down
Raise a little cane
And eat a little gumbo
Do a heap of loving in the Louisiana Bayou
[Repeat Chorus:]
Louisiana Bayou
Louisiana Bayou
Louisiana Bayou
