<b>Dixie Lee Leveaux - Perley Curtis</b> by <i>Various Artists</i><br />

Down in Louisiana we know Cajun life moves slow

Between the cradle and the grave there's time for love to grow

The swamp it holds it's secrets but somehow I found Dixie Lee

That dark eyed Cajun beauty she meant more than life to me

Our love grew like it lay beneath some mystic voodoo spell

Warm as Louisiana sunshine stronger than a coastal gale

Like workers on a chain gang we were prisoners to our hearts

We never tried to fight the feeling we gave in right from the start

(Chorus)

Dixie Lee Leveaux, Louisiana bayou

Spanish moss hangin' from a cypress tree

A pure and simple country life, Louisiana soul

Creole love for me and Dixie Lee

Down in Louisiana where the Cajun life moves slow

We count our many blessings as me and Dixie Lee grow old

We'll make that journey some day where two hearts return to dust

But our souls will live forever in the story that was us

(Chorus)

Dixie Lee Leveaux, Louisiana bayou

Spanish moss hangin' from a cypress tree

A pure and simple country life, Louisiana soul

Creole love for me and Dixie Lee

Love lives on for me and Dixie Lee
