She go down to the bayou
Every day right at three.
She go down to the bayou
Catch some crawfish for me
She don't worry 'bout gators,
She don't worry none.
She don't worry 'bout gators,
She always packing a gun.
She cook the best stew
That you ever tasted--
Creole, Gumbo and Etouffee
Red beans, rice
and andouille sausage
Wash it all down
With cafe au lait.
She can tear up the dance floor
Every Saturday night.
She can wear out the dance floor
'Til they shoot out the lights.
But don't get her started singin'
She sounds like she's callin' hogs.
Don't get her started singin'
She'll scare of all your dogs.
She cook the best stew
That you ever tasted--
Creole, Gumbo and Etouffee
Red beans, rice
and andouille sausage
Wash it all down
With cafe au lait.
Her mama don't like me,
But I'm gonna change her mind.
Her mama don't like me
But just give me some time.
'Cause I love my Bayou Josie
And she loves me, too.
I love my Bayou Josie
Et toi, merci beaucoup.
