Bayou Girl

                      G
I know a girl named Edie
G
She’s a good friend of mine
C           Am
Living on the bayou
       G
On Evangeline
C           Am
Well she's pretty as a picture
         G
In a magazine
G
She ‘bout the prettiest little thing
D/F#     G
You ever seen

[Verse]
                      G
Well I’m back upon muddy water
G
Down where the big fish go
C           Am
Running on the banks
       G
In a little pi-reaux
      C           Am
And all day long
         G
What I’m thinking of
G
Well I’m hoping I can snag me
D/F#     G
A little Cajun dove

[Chorus]
G
She lives down
        C           Am
In a 2 bit town
G
Where the Palmetto Grows
    D/F#
All around
        G
Anywhere
              C           Am
In the whole damn world
          G
You won’t never find love
D/F#         G
Like a bayou girl

[Verse]
G
Well I’m sitting in a shotgun cabin
G
Sippin Little Sherry Wine
C           Am
We sure do have some fun
       G
Sure do have a real good time
     C           Am
Laughing and a singing
         G
I guarantee
G
To the “adoline”
D/F#     G
And the “fiddle dee dee”

[guitar solo]
G D C G C G D G

                      G
Someday were gonna get married
G
She will be my bon ton bride
C           Am
Many people come
       G
And Watch us stand side by side
      C           Am
Gonna have a little band
         G
Play feux deaux deaux
G
Etoufee
D/F#     G
And a hot gumbo

[Chorus]
G
She lives down
         C           Am
In a 2 bit town
G
With a Palmetto Grows
    D/F#
All around
        G
Anywhere
                C           Am
In the God Al mighty World
          G
You won’t never find love
D/F#         G
Like a bayou girl
G
Ain’t nothing the world
D/F#         G
Like a bayou girl
