[Intro]
A G D A7
[Verse]
A
Bayou boys live a little risky
G
Sneaking into games with a water bottle whiskey
D
Yes ma’am smile but a mean left hook
C D
Know a lot of shit you can’t learn in a book
A
Like how to kill a cottonmouth with dull shovel
A7 A
How get some sugar 'round a cane field fire
D
Red, white and blue but bleeding gold and purple
C D
Where it never rains on a Saturday night
[Chorus]
A
Way down yonder off the Mississippi
G
There’s a little town of a hundred fifty
D
Cypress knees stickin' outta holy water
C D
Sun's about as hot as the farmer’s daughter
A
Catching crawfish in a ditch off the road
G
Sunday morning praying in your Mossy Oak
D
Mardi Gras dancing, catching beads
C D
Hurricane twisted, c'est la vie
G
If you don't know nothin' ‘bout ducks or gators
D
Two finegr waves and see ya laters
G
Slinging Delta dirt on jacked up toys
C G
You ain't never been down to te Bayou boy
A A7 A
[Verse]
A
Bayou boys will buy you a drink
G
And buy a piece of land where the church bells ring
D
Take a fan boat flying like it ain't no thing
C D
Where the swamp and the Spanish moss meet
[Chorus]
A
Way down yonder off the Mississippi
G
There’s a little town of a hundred fifty
D
Cypress knees stickin' outta holy water
C D
Sun's about as hot as the farmer’s daughter
A
Catching crawfish in a ditch off the road
G
Sunday morning praying in your Mossy Oak
D
Mardi Gras dancing, catching beads
C D
Hurricane twisted, c'est la vie
G
If you don't know nothin' ‘bout ducks or gators
D
Two finegr waves and see ya laters
G
Slinging Delta dirt on jacked up toys
C G
You ain't never been down to te Bayou boy
[Instrumental/Solo]
A G D C G
[Break]
Am A
Let the good times roll, let 'em all roll
Am A
Let that Louisiana heat soothe my soul
Am A
Let the good times roll, let 'em all roll
Laissez les bons temps rouler
D
Sounds like home
[Chorus]
A
Way down yonder off the Mississippi
G
There’s a little town of a hundred fifty
D
Cypress knees stickin' outta holy water
C D
Sun's about as hot as the farmer’s daughter
A
Catching crawfish in a ditch off the road
G
Sunday morning praying in your Mossy Oak
D
Mardi Gras dancing, catching beads
C D
Hurricane twisted, c'est la vie
G
If you don't know nothin' ‘bout ducks or gators

Am Am
Never been down, never been down
D
To the Bayou boy
