I was born on the bayou thirty miles of Lafayette's My daddy was a Cajun man, Lord he thought us how to plow I remember Mama's breakfast cush cush and a kaye Being served on a banyee Lord, I wish I had some now I'm a Cajun born, I'm a Cajun bred And when I die I'm a Cajun dead If I die in Alaska, if I die in Ohio This soul will find its way back to the bayou We went to church every Sunday we had a French speaking preacher man Joked about the preacher man 'cause we thought he wore a dress, yes After church we had a party we played the music on the phonograph We had a man singing Jole Blon oh made a sinner out of me I'm a Cajun born, I'm a Cajun bred And when I die I'm a Cajun dead If I die in Alaska, if I die in Ohio This soul will find its way back to the bayou When I'm ready to be married going to be this Cajun lady Someone sort of like my Mama 'Cause I ain't know other kind, don't know other kind Wherever fortune takes me, if it makes me or it breaks me It's memories will forsake me, Louisiana on my mind I'm a Cajun born, I'm a Cajun bred And when I die I'm a Cajun dead If I die in Alaska, if I die in Ohio This soul will find its way back to the bayou If I die in Alaska, if I die in Ohio This soul will find it's way back to the bayou
