I wanna be loved by you bayou baby
   Nobody else but you bayou baby
   I searched this world from end to end
   I finally found where I should’ve always been
   Right by you bayou baby
  
   I followed the wind from town to town
   Never had a mind of settling down
   Falling in love just wasn’t my style
   But that was before I saw your smile

   Nobody else but you bayou baby

   Right by you bayou baby
  
   Gonna make my mark stake my claim
   Live right here ‘til my dying day
   Close as I can to wherever you are
   ‘Til the day comes I win your heart
  
   I wanna be loved by you bayou baby
   Nobody else but you bayou baby

   Right by you bayou baby
