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
