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 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 Guitar, a squeeze box, a fiddle, a bow Little band a-playin' every song they know Old woman sittin' there and yellin' for more My heart is willin', but my feet - they're so sore! Once more we're waltzin' to Jolie Blond I lean in closer and Sheri responds Her mama's smilin' as we slip from the room To sit and stare at the Cajun Moon
