[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                    
Know a lot of shit you 
       D
can’t learn in a book
 
      A
Like how to kill a cottonmouth 

with dull shovel
A7                 
How get some sugar 
                      A
'round a cane field fire
 D
Red, white and blue but 

bleeding gold and purple
 C                     
Where it never rains on 
   D
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                 
Sun's about as hot 
        D
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                
Hurricane twisted, 
 D
c'est la vie
 
        G
If you don't know nothin' 

β€˜bout ducks or gators
 D
Two finegr waves and 

see ya laters
          G
Slinging Delta dirt on jacked up toys
           C             
You ain't never been down 
       G
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          
Where the swamp and 
                  D
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                    
Sun's about as hot as 
     D
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                
Hurricane twisted, 
 D
c'est la vie
 
        G
If you don't know nothin'

 β€˜bout ducks or gators
 D
Two finegr waves and 

see ya laters
          G
Slinging Delta dirt on

 jacked up toys
           C             
You ain't never been down 
       G
to te Bayou boy

[Break]

         Am            
Let the good times roll, 
 A
let 'em all roll
          Am             A
Let that Louisiana heat soothe my soul
         Am             
Let the good times roll, 
 A
let 'em  all roll
 
Laissez les bons temps rouler
 D
Sounds like home
