The Bayou Delight

Down in the swamp where the tupelo grows
There’s an old tin shack only the Cajuns know.
Around sundown folks start to show,
Gathering for an old fashioned fais do do.

I want to two-step two-step with you tonight
Laissez le bon temps rouler in the lantern light
Two-step two-step with you tonight
Down at the Bayou Delight

They got blackened catfish on the barbeque
And a jumbo gumbo crawdad stew.
You eat & you eat till you can eat no more
& then you work it all off on the big dance floor

[Repeat chorus]

They got a fiddle man & an accordion
& any time you’re not dancing you can join the band.
You don’t need to know the tunes, don’t need to know the chords,
Just grab two spoons or an old washboard

[Repeat chorus ]

Those Cajun maidens crowd the floor,
And each one’s as pretty as the one before.
Another man’d be too confused to choose,
But when it’s time to dance I want to dance with you
[Repeat chorus]
Down at the Bayou Delight
