You see I take a little trip in my old field road
Down the Louisiana swamp to Beinja Bayo
The prettiest site I ever did see was the Cajun girls
On them awesome treesRaw fish boilin' on an open fire
Cajun fiddled them an old guitar
People all a-comin' from near and far
To drink their tea from a old fruit jarAnd I call my fightin' alligator
All the way don't you know
For my sweetheart of Beinja BayouHer brown eyes sparkled
And her hair was long
I asked her to dance to a Cajun song
My heart was a fire and I am runnin' wild
I never had seen such a pretty smileSo what's you name
Oh honey, I gotta know
My sweetheart of Beinja Bayou
'Cos daylights are comin'
And I've gotta go
Back up the river in my old field roadShe is my sweetheart of Beinja Bayou
Got a hold on my mind as she won't let go
I think about her from dust till dawn
Her lips are sweeter than honey in a combAnd I'll fight an alligator
All the way don't you know
For my sweetheart of Beinja BayouShe is my sweetheart of Beinja Bayou
Got a hold in my mind as she won't let go
I think about her from dust till dawn
Her lips are sweeter than honey in a combAnd I'll fight an alligator
All the way don't you know
For my sweetheart of Beinja BayouBoy, as I wave half water all the way don't you know
Well I'ma going back to Beinja Bayou
Come on
