D7   G


[Chorus]
G
Hey mamma, come get your baby
D7                             G
My cajun baby, I'm sad and I'm blue
G
Hey mamma, come get your baby
D7                            G
My cajun baby, I'm lonely for you


[Verse 1]
   G                                        D7
In south Louisiana where the stars shine so bright
                                         G
The soft breezes blow in the pale of the night
                                   D7
My darlin' has left me in such misery
                                             G
I pray that she'll hear me while I sing this plea


[Chorus]
G
Hey mamma, come get your baby
D7                             G
My cajun baby, I'm sad and I'm blue
G
Hey mamma, come get your baby
D7                            G
My cajun baby, I'm lonely for you

D7   G


[Verse 2]
G                                 D7
I'll always love you til my dyin' day
                                    G
The pain in my heart just won't go away
                               D7
Til I can hold you again in my arms
                                           G
And thrill to be near you with all of your charms


[Verse 3]
  G                                        D7
I think of the times that we've had in the past
                                        G
How you once loved me, oh why didn't it last
                                  D7
My heart was broken down in Big Mamou
                                            G
The night that I danced the last waltz with you


[Chorus]
G
Hey mamma, come get your baby
D7                             G
My cajun baby, I'm sad and I'm blue
G
Hey mamma, come get your baby
D7                            G
My cajun baby, I'm lonely for you
