A bayou ( /ˈbaɪ.oʊ/ or /ˈbaɪjuː/) is an American term for a body of water typically found in flat, low-lying areas, and can refer either to an extremely slow-moving stream or river (often with a poorly defined shoreline), or to a marshy lake or wetland. The name "bayou" can also refer to creeks whose water level changes due to tides and which hold brackish water which is highly conducive to fish life and plankton. Bayous are commonly found in the Gulf Coast region of the southern United States, notably the Mississippi River region, with the state of Louisiana being famous for them. A bayou is frequently an anabranch or minor braid of a braided channel that is moving much more slowly than the mainstem, often becoming boggy and stagnant. Though vegetation varies by region, many bayous are home to crawfish, certain species of shrimp, other shellfish, catfish, frogs, toads, american alligators, american crocodiles, and a myriad of other species.
The word was first used by the English in Louisiana and is thought to originate from the Choctaw word "bayuk", which means "small stream". The first settlements of Acadians in southern Louisiana were near Bayou Teche and other bayous, which led to a close association of the bayou with Cajun culture.

As they burnish the sky
And our hearts
Our tiny hearts are beating
Hear our song
As it fanfares the night
And our hearts
Our tiny hearts are beating
They say
"There'll be plenty more forever
Enough for all to go around"
But in the Bayou
When things get low, low , low
We're gonna go go down
We fly from the billabong tree
And now we sit in the marketplace
Pull out feathers from our skin
For another pretty hat
On a pretty face
But in the Bayou
When things get low, low , low
We're gonna go go down
But in the Bayou
When things get low, low , low
