penny dehaven - bayou lullaby lyrics
[verse 1: penny dehaven]
folks say she was crazy and that may be
she sits in the swamp by an old dead tree
singing this cajun melody to a rag doll make-believe baby
[chorus: penny dehaven]
je vous aime beaucoup, bayou baby
your daddy once sang that to a louisiana lady
i’ve got so much love for you it makes me crazy
je vous aime beaucoup, bayou baby
[verse 2: penny dehaven]
she loved a young man many years ago
he came through here with a travelling show
she’d wait in the dark ’til her poppa fell asleep
and run to her lover ‘neath that old oak tree
[verse 3: penny dehaven]
here we live or die by the cajun law
so momma never said just what she saw
the flashing blade in the full moonlight
or the hate in her poppa’s eyes that night
[chorus: penny dehaven]
she sang je vous aime beaucoup, bayou baby
your daddy once sang that to a louisiana lady
i’ve got so much love for you it makes me crazy
je vous aime beaucoup, bayou baby
[verse 4: penny dehaven]
grandpa said she left her mark on me
’cause i sit in the swamp by that same old tree
where once it’s branches touched the ground
to hide the love momma found
[chorus: penny dehaven]
now i sing je vous aime beaucoup, bayou baby
my daddy once sang that to a louisiana lady
i’ve got so much love for you it makes me crazy
je vous aime beaucoup, bayou baby
