Rock-a-bayou baby, all night long
By the muddy [*] river, where the current is strong
Grab your guitar and let the river take hold
Rock-a-bayou baby, rock 'n' roll
Rock-a-bayou baby, rock 'n' roll
Oooowh!

Rock-rock-rock... a-bayou baby
Rock-rock-rock... a-bayou baby
Rock-rock-rock... a-bayou baby
Rock-rock-rock... a-bayou baby
Rock-rock-rock... a-bayou baby
Rock-rock-rock... a-bayou baby

People just a-rockin' in the river's roll
The cajun moon is a sight to behold
Baby's eyes are shinin' bright as gold
Rock-a-bayou baby, rock 'n' roll
Rock-a-bayou baby, rock 'n' roll
Oooowh!

Rock-rock-rock... a-bayou baby
Rock-rock-rock... a-bayou baby
Rock-rock-rock... a-bayou baby
Rock-rock-rock... a-bayou baby
Rock-rock-rock... a-bayou baby
Rock and roll...
