[Verse]
Bayou bayou bayou bayou
Now here's a little tale about a flock of geese
Looking for a home and looking for a peace
But before they're safely in the southern sand
They got to watch out for the critter called man
There's a goose and a gander and a gosling child
Heading on south at the call of the wild
Honk and holler as we go going to see the Gulf of Mexico
Way up high don't fly low the long toms will get you from the old bayou
Well the wind from the north it chills you to the bone
And the call of the wild is calling me come home
I'll lead my band of geese a marry trip we'll navigate that mighty Mississippi
Honk and holler as we go
Bayou bayou bayou bayou
Honk and holler as we go
My pappy led this band of twenty-three and the second in command included me
He made one fatal slip and he flew too low the long tom's got him from the old bayou
Honk and holler as we go
