Adam Hood Bayou Girl Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 3]
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

[Verse 4]
Well someday we're gonna get married, she will be my [tall?] 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

[Chorus]
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

[Outro]
Oh, like a bayou girl
Well there ain't nothin' like a bayou girl
