[ C5 ] The moon is full and my heart is why
[ G5 ] I love to dance oh [ C5 ] me oh my
gonna have more fun than a tree in a coon
[ G5 ] tonight's the dance of the [ C5 ] Cajun Moon

Chorus
[ F5 ] Cajun [ C5 ] Moon [ G5 ] nugget of [ C5 ] gold
[ F5 ] river of [ C5 ] light on the [ G5 ] bayou
[ F5 ] you're just like [ C5 ] rain
[ G5 ] to a love in [ A5 ] bloom so
[ F5 ] shine on [ C5 ] me [ G5 ] oh [ G5 ] Cajun [ C5 ] 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
