Oh yeah, Cajun man, do what he can, [F] gotta make a living, he's a Louisiana man
little boy [C] Ned, raise him on the banks of the river bed
big tall [C] tree, a home for my [G] mama and my papa and [C] me
jumps to his [C] feet, already mama's cooking, papa's sunning the new heat
ready to [C] go, he jumps in his barrel headed down my [F] bayou
the Louisiana river, gotta catch a big fish for us to eat
catches anything he can, gotta make a living, he's a Louisiana man
he's a Louisiana [Dm] man
little boy [C] Ned, raise him on the banks of the river bed
big tall [C] tree, a home for my [G] mama and my papa and [C] me
jumps to his [C] feet, already mama's cooking, papa's sunning the new heat
ready to [C] go, he jumps in his barrel headed down my [F] bayou
the Louisiana river, gotta catch a big fish for us to eat
catches anything he can, gotta make a living, he's a Louisiana man
he's a Louisiana [Dm] man
