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 

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
