Skaggs Ricky - 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
