I live in the Bayou built my home ever since I can remember
I was born in that three room shack on a cold day in december
I'm a good, kind hard loving cajun man
Working on a boat rowing through the swamp
for a dollar in a half an hour
Cajun man with the love for life and a lots of cajun power

Re: Alligator Bayou Lyrics please

Dr John,

Thanks for your efforts and it made more sense now.
I asked it for somebody I know and first I did a try myself.
He's playing accordion and I don't know if he wanted to play it on accordion.
I like the song , but I never would start playing it because it's not really
my cup of tea as a member of the "black socks cajun departement"
Ooops , I have to explain that :blush:
We have here , just like in the USA, a lot of protestant churches and the most
straight protestants are called here the "black socks church" :wink:
By the way: I also love all side effects of C&Z-music, but the old traditional style is my favourite.
