The moon is full and my heart is high
I love to dance oh me, oh my

Gonna have more fun than a tree'n a coon
Tonight's the dance of the cajun noon.

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 feel her mamas eyes on me.

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, 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!
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.

more Once 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 noon.

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.

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...
