Down yonder where they talk that talk
Everybody’s roots run real deep
Out there in them woods or the swamps
Where them alligators run them creeks
Sticking to all the ways we was raised
Never change anything about me
I was born on the bayou baby
Where I’ll be till I lay 6 ft


Born the Bayou doing my thing yea
I’m just hanging like a hoop net making a name
Deliver the flames I spit it like I’m posed
Them other boys do it they don’t do it like Po do
Yea I was raised pull your weight like a hook set
Kill it skin it eat shoot it up just like a coopbed
heard what you said but I don’t pay no mind
Ride this bike with no hands I was destined to shine

Down yonder where they talk that talk
Everybody’s roots run real deep
Out there in them woods or the swamps
Where them alligators run them creeks
Sticking to all the ways we was raised
Never change anything about me
I was born on the bayou baby
Where I’ll be till I lay 6 ft

Time flies but this shit don’t change
Papaw taught me how to be and all the ways is raised
And how I am gone do till the day that I’m thru
Guess these Louisiana thangs got me stuck like a noose
we be throwing down good food big ol pot
Jumbalaya crawfish pie boiled chicken for stock
So when I’m gone bury me near the bayou
Putting on for the boot till my time thru

Down yonder where they talk that talk
Everybody’s roots run real deep
Out there in them woods or the swamps
Where them alligators run them creeks
Sticking to all the ways we was raised
Never change anything about me
I was born on the bayou baby
Where I’ll be till I lay 6 ft
