Cajun Moon Lyrics

(Jim Rushing) 
The moon is full & my heart is high
I love to dance, oh me oh my 
Gonna have more fun than a tree & a coon 
Tonight's the dance of the Cajun moon 

Pickups & wagons 'round the railroad shack 
Bonfires are drawn in a crowd out back 
Step through the door & I see my Sherry 
That's when I feel her mama's eyes on me 

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 

Guitar, a squeeze box, a fiddle & bow 
Little band a-playin' every song they know 
Ol' woman sittin' there & yellin' for more 
My heart is willin' but my feet, they're so sore! 

(chorus) 
(instrumental) 

Once more we're waltzin' to Jody Long 
I lean in closer & Sherry responds 
Her mama's smilin' as we slip from the room 
To sit & stare at the Cajun moon 

(chorus x2)
