                  C
I was born on the bayou
                F
Thirty miles of Layfayette
               G
My daddy was a cajun man
                         C
Lord he taught us how to plow
                  C
I remember mama's breakfast
                F
Cush Cush and a Kaye
                  G
Being served on a Banyee
                      C
Oh, I wish I had some now

            G
I'm a cajun born
            C
I'm a cajun bred
       G
When I die
            C
I'm a cajun dead
            C
If I die in Alaska
            F
If I die in Ohio
               G
This soul will find its way
            C
Back to the bayou

N.C                     D
We went to church every sunday
                         G
We had a French speaking preacher man
                A
Joked about the preacher man
                            D
'Cause we thought he wore a dress
                      D
After church we had a party
                           G
We played the music on the phonograph
                     A
We had a man singing Jole Blan
                     D
Made a sinner out of me

            A
I'm a cajun born
            D
I'm a cajun bred
       A
When I die
            D
I'm a cajun dead
            D
If I die in Alaska
            G
If I die in Ohio
               A
This soul will find its way
            D
Back to the bayou

A D A D A E

N.C                  E
When I'm ready to be married
                           A
I'm going to be this cajun lady
                   B
Some sorta like my mamma
                            E
'Cause there ain't no other kind

No, there ain't no other kind

                 E
Wherever fortune takes me
                     A
If it makes me or it breaks me
                   B
It's memories will forsake me
                E
Louisiana on my mind

            B
I'm a cajun born
            E
I'm a cajun bred
       B
When I die
            E
I'm a cajun dead
            E
If I die in Alaska
            A
If I die in Ohio
               B
This soul will find its way
            E
Back to the bayou

              E
If I die in Alaska
     D      A
If I die in Ohio
               B
This soul will find it's way
            E
Back to the bayou...
