Andy Griggs Sweetheart Of Beinja Bayou Lyrics

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
