"Adalida" lyrics

Adalida

Adalida
Pretty little cajun queen
Sweet Dixie flower
The belle of the bayou
You're every young man's dream

Adalida
I'd walk through a hurricane
To stand beside you, sweet Adalida
I'd swim the Pontchartrain

Oh, no
Hear you coming down the road
With your cotton dress a swishing
You're getting some attention
From all the boys in Thibodaux

Oh, my
Really filling up their eyes
Smiling and a winking
I know what they're thinking
But I'm the only one who loves you so

Adalida
Pretty little cajun queen
Sweet Dixie flower
The belle of the bayou
You're every young man's dream

Adalida
I'd walk through a hurricane
To stand beside you, sweet Adalida
I'd swim the Pontchartrain

Oh, no
Hottest little dish I know
I know you can tell it
You're making me so jealous
From my head down to my toes

Oh, me
You could make a redneck green
The way that you're looking
You got me cooking
And I ain't talking about étouffée

Adalida
Pretty little cajun queen
Sweet Dixie flower
The belle of the bayou
You're every young man's dream

Adalida
I'd walk through a hurricane
To stand beside you, sweet Adalida
I'd swim the Pontchartrain

Adalida
Pretty little cajun queen
Sweet Dixie flower
The belle of the bayou
You're every young man's dream

Adalida
I'd walk through a hurricane
To stand beside you, sweet Adalida
I'd swim the Pontchartrain

To stand beside you, sweet Adalida
To stand beside you, sweet Adalida
Just to stand beside a my sweet Adalida
I'd swim the Pontchartrain
