one summer night he’ll light a lantern
he’ll catch a tiny firefly in a jar
er dancing on the mantle
like a piece of star
see how the boy lays low
he wants the shiver in her wing
see him hiding in the willow
playing with lightning
you don’t know me
I don’t know you
and the summer’s come again
my oh my, the sparks are flyin’
all over Lousianne
there’s lots of fishes in the sea
I swear I’m gonna catch one in my hand
make him dance for me
in the fryin’ pan
you don’t know me
I don’t know you
and the summer’s come again
my oh my, the fish are flyin’
all over Lousianne
in your eyes there’s a light
it comes and it goes without a sound
if I hold on tight
it’s gonna burn me to the ground
you don’t know me
 don’t know you
and the summer’s come again
my oh my, the sparks are flyin’
all over Lousianne
our lives go by like sparks are flyin’
all over Lousianne
