The moon is full and my heart is why

I love to dance oh me oh my

Gonna have more fun than a tree in a coon

Tonight's the dance of the cajun moon

[Chorus]

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

Pick ups and wagons 'round the river road shack

Bonfires draw in a crowd out back

Step through the door and I see my sheri

That's when I see her mamas eyes on me

[Chorus]

Guitar, a squeeze box, a fiddle, a bow

Little band a-playin' every song they know

Old woman sittin' there and yellin' for more

My heart is willin', but my feet - they're so sore!

[Chorus]

Once more we're waltzin' to jolie blond

I lean in closer and sheri responds

Her mama's smilin' as we slip from the room

To sit and stare at the cajun moon

[Chorus]
