Ricky Skaggs - Cajun Moon lyrics

rate me

<br>

(Music By Jim Rushing)<br>

<br>

The moon is full and my heart is why<br>

I love to dance oh me, oh my<br>

Gonna have more fun than a tree in a coon<br>

Tonight's the dance of the cajun noon.<br>

<br>

Chorus:<br>

Cajun moon nugget of gold<br>

River of light on the bayou<br>

You're just like rain<br>

To a love in bloom so<br>

Shine on me oh, cajun moon.<br>

<br>

Pick ups and wagons 'round the river road shack<br>

Bonfires draw in a crowd out back<br>

Step through the door and I see my Sheri<br>

That's when I see her mamas eyes on me.<br>

<br>

Chorus:<br>

Cajun moon nugget of gold<br>

River of light on the bayou<br>

You're just like rain<br>

To a love in bloom so<br>

Shine on me oh, cajun moon.<br>

<br>

Guitar, a squeeze box, a fiddle, a bow<br>

Little band a-playin' every song they know<br>

Old woman sittin' there and yellin' for more<br>

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

<br>

Chorus:<br>

Cajun moon nugget of gold<br>

River of light on the bayou<br>

You're just like rain<br>

To a love in bloom so<br>

Shine on me oh, cajun moon.<br>

<br>

Once more we're waltzin' to Jolie Blond<br>

I lean in closer and Sheri responds<br>

Her mama's smilin' as we slip from the room<br>

To sit and stare at the cajun noon.<br>

<br>

Chorus:<br>

Cajun moon nugget of gold<br>

River of light on the bayou<br>

You're just like rain<br>

To a love in bloom so<br>

Shine on me oh, cajun moon...<br>

<br>
