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 trees
Raw 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 jar
And I call my fightin’ alligator All the way don’t you know For my sweetheart of Beinja Bayou
Her 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 smile
So 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 road
She 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 comb
And I’ll fight an alligator All the way don’t you know For my sweetheart of Beinja Bayou
She 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 comb
And I’ll fight an alligator All the way don’t you know For my sweetheart of Beinja Bayou
Boy, as I wave half water all the way don’t you know Well, I’ma going back to Beinja Bayou Come on
