This is one of my favourite songs that was recorded by Ricky Skaggs and I'd like
to share it, Cheers!
Cajun Moon Recorded By Ricky Skaggs, Words and Music By Jim Rushing
[C] The moon is full and my heart is why
[G] I love to dance oh [C] me oh my
gonna have more fun than a tree in a coon
[G] tonight's the dance of the [C] Cajun Moon
Chorus
[F] Cajun [C] Moon [G] nugget of [C] gold
[F] river of [C] light on the [G] bayou
[F] you're just like [C] rain
[G] to a love in [Am] bloom so
[F] shine on [C] me [G] oh [G] Cajun [C] 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
Chorus
