Find a two-step partner and a Cajun beat 
        G                     G 
When it lifts me up I'm gonna find my feet 
C                      C 
Out in the middle of a big dance floor 
       G                      G 
When I hear that fiddle wanna beg for more 
      D                      D                 G   G 
Gonna dance to a band from a-Lou'sian' tonight

Well I never have wandered down to New Orleans

Never have drifted down a bayou stream 
      D                       D 
But I heard that music on the radio

And I swore some day I was gonna go 
     Em              Em 
Down Highway 10 past Lafayette 
   A7                A7 
To Baton Rouge and I won't forget 
   D                    D 
To send you a card with my regrets  
           D7                    G 
'Cause I'm never gonna come back home 
 
{You know the rest...}
