Cajun Moon

(album: Cowboys & Englishmen - 1982)

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-playing every song they know
old woman sitting there and yelling for more
my heart is willing, but my feet they're so sore!

[Chorus]

Once more we're waltzing to Jolie Blond
I lean in closer and Sheri responds
her mama's smiling as we slip from the room
to sit and stare at the Cajun Moon

[Chorus]
