It was down in Louisiana where I met my sweet Marie

it was love at first sight all right she sure took a shine to me

Lightnin' strikes when least expected this Cajun lady came on strong

day after day had it made in the shade an' we'd boogie on the bayou all
Night long
Boogie on the bayou ~ all night long

boogie on the bayou ~ 'til the break of dawn
I was down roun' Crawfish Alley when I met ma sweet chérie

hit me like a hurricane a freight train nothin' I could do c'est la vie
No matter where I am with my delta baby I can't go wrong
She took me in her arms an' into her heart now we boogie on the bayou all
Night long
Boogie on the bayou ~ all night long

Boogie on the bayou ~ 'til the break of dawn

Boogie on the bayou ~ all night long

boogie on the bayou ~ 'til the break of dawn
She's a dark-haired dark-eyed long-legged Cajun lady
looks so good in her
Tight blue jeans

Dark-haired dark-eyed long-legged Cajun lady

way down south in New Orleans
Boogie on the bayou ~ boogie on the bayou
Boogie on the bayou ~ boogie on the bayou
Boogie on the bayou ~ all night long

Boogie on the bayou ~ all night long

She's a dark-haired dark-eyed long-legged Cajun lady

Boogie on the bayou all night long

boogie on the bayou ~ all night long
Boogie on the bayou ~ all night long

She's a dark-haired dark-eyed long-legged Cajun lady

Boogie on the bayou all night long
Boogie on the bayou ~ 'til the break of dawn
Boogie on the bayou ~ 'til the break of dawn
Boogie on the bayou
