[C]
The moon is full and my heart is high [G] I love to dance, [C] oh me, oh my
Gonna have more fun than three other [G] fools Tonight's the dance of [C] the cage
Pickups and wagons round the river, oh, [G] chad Bonfires a-crawling, [C] the crowd out back
Step through the door and I see my sherry [G] That's when I feel her [C] mother's eyes on [F] me
[C] Cajun blues, [G] [C] nugget of gold [F] River [C] of life [G] on the bayou
[F] You're [C] just like rain [G] to a [Am] loving bloom [F] So shine [C] on me, [G] oh, [C] Cajun blues
Guitar, squeeze, box of fiddle and bow [G]
Little band a-playing [C] every song they know
Old woman sitting there and yelling for more [G]
My heart is willing [C] but my feet, they're so sore
[F]
[C] Cajun [G] blues, [C] nugget of [F] gold [C] River of life [G] on the bayou
