[Verse 1]
Down in the bayou where the alligators roam
Live some people, you leave them alone
Getting lost may be your last mistake
Unfriendly strangers, unkindly they take
Living off the fat of the land
They hold their justice at the palm of thine hand
Lay down your gun and surrender quiet
Or there's gonna be a Cajun riot!

[Chorus]
Danger in the swamp that waits for you
There's nothing left that you can do
Better watch your back for the vicious attack
'Cause they'll be lookin' for you
Playin' with your life, for your life is too short
Pain is too good for you
Your last breath is all you have left
Take it before you're doomed
Cajun hell (Cajun hell)
Cajun hell (Cajun hell)
Cajun hell (Cajun hell)
Cajun hell... before you're doomed

[Verse 2]
Raising hell and they're ready for fightin'
Huntin' gators and drinkin' white lightnin'
Brewin' moonshine at a still in the swamp
Playing Creole from dusk until dawn
Protect their own is the law of the land
Mess with their law, it will get out of hand
Keep it in mind if you're ever down there
It might be fatal, you better beware
[Chorus]
Danger in the swamp that waits for you
There's nothing left that you can do
Better watch your back, for the vicious attack
'Cause they'll be lookin' for you
Playin' with your life, for your life is too short
Pain is too good for you
Your last breath, is all you have left
Take it before you're doomed
Cajun hell (Cajun hell)
Cajun hell (Cajun hell)
Cajun hell (Cajun hell)
Cajun hell... before you're doomed!
