Bayou Nights

[Verse] Down where the Spanish moss hangs from the trees, Gators move slow with a Creole breeze. Fishing boat's rocking, as the zydeco plays, Cajun moon rising, on those Louisiana days. [Verse 2] Mama's cookin' gumbo in the cast iron pot, Cornbread and crawfish, it'll hit the spot. Papa’s got his fiddle, Uncle’s on the squeeze, Neighbors all gather, movin' to the beat with ease. [Chorus] Bayou nights, under the Southern stars, Dance all night to the pull of the guitars. Feel the rhythm of the swamp, let your worries drift away, In the heart of Louisiana, we’ll be swayin’ till the break of day. [Verse 3] Riverboat's chuggin', fireflies light the way, Mosquitoes buzz around, but they can't ruin our play. Children runnin' barefoot, laughin' in the dark, Old folks tellin' stories by the flicker of a spark. [Bridge] Hear the call of the bullfrog deep in the night, Harmony of the bayou feels just right. The smell of magnolias, the whisper of the breeze, Livin’ life simple, finding joy in the tease. [Verse 4] Jolie Blon’s playin’ on the old phonograph, Couples two-steppin’, hear their joyful laugh. Alligators watchin' with their beady eyes, Nature’s own ballroom, beneath the Southern skies.
