[ C ] The moon is full and my heart is why
[ G ] I love to dance oh [ C ] me oh my
gonna have more fun than a tree in a coon
[ G ] tonight's the dance of the [ C ] Cajun Moon

Chorus
[ F ] Cajun [ C ] Moon [ G ] nugget of [ C ] gold
[ F ] river of [ C ] light on the [ G ] bayou
[ F ] you're just like [ C ] rain
[ G ] to a love in [ Am ] bloom so
[ F ] shine on [ C ] me [ G ] oh [ G ] Cajun [ C ] 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

Chorus

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!

Chorus

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
