Cajun Moon (1986)
The moon is full & my heart is high
I love to dance, oh me oh my
Gonna have more fun than a treeing a coon
Tonight's the dance of the Cajun moon

Pickups and wagons round the railroad shack
Bonfires are drawn in a crowd out back
Step through the door and I see my Sherry
That's when I feel her mama's eyes on me

Cajun moon, nugget of gold, river of light on the bayou
You're just like rain to a love in bloom, so
Shine on me, oh Cajun moon

Guitar, a squeeze box, a fiddle and bow
Little band a-playing every song they know
Old woman sitting there and yelling for more
My heart is willing but my feet, they're so sore


Cajun moon, nugget of gold, river of light on the bayou
You're just like rain to a love in bloom, so
Shine on me, oh Cajun moon

Once more we're waltzing to Jody Long
I lean in closer and Sherry responds
Her mama's smiling as we slip from the room
To sit and stare at the Cajun moon

Cajun moon, nugget of gold, river of light on the bayou
You're just like rain to a love in bloom, so
Shine on me, oh Cajun moon

Cajun moon, nugget of gold, river of light on the bayou
You're just like rain to a love in bloom, so
Shine on me, oh Cajun moon
