Andy Griggs - Sweetheart of Beinja Bayou lyrics

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
