We walked along the river
heard the whistle of the Dixie Belle
well we never made it to heaven
and there are secrets we can never tell
but you know that I still love you
and I’ll always stay
As we watch the muddy water
carry our troubles away
Laissez les bon temps roulet
O ma cher, o ma cher
Laissez les bon temps roulet
O ma cher, o ma cher
Tout les temps, tout facon,
Tout mon coeur, oui, allons
a la bon temps roulet
(ma ‘tit monde, ma ‘tit monde)
Like a captured meander
you locked my heart away
I was a wild roving river
whiskey and sweet tokay
now we wander more slowly
the ghosts of the parish at our side
I know one day we’ll join them
but tonight
let’s take a ride
CHORUS
