Adalaida, pretty little Cajun queen,
sweet dixie flower, the Belle of the bayou,
you're every young man's dream.
Adalaida, I'd walk through the hurricane
to stand beside you, sweet Adalaida,
I'd swim the Pontchartrain.
Oh, no, hear you comin' down the road
with your cotton dress a-swishin', you gettin' some attention
from all the boys in Thibodaux.
Oh, my, you really fillin' up their eyes,
smilin' and a winkin' I know what they're thinkin'
but I'm the only one who loves you so.
Adalaida, pretty little Cajun queen,
sweet dixie flower, the Belle of the bayou,
you're every young man's dream.
Adalaida, I'd walk through the hurricane
to stand beside you, sweet Adalaida,
I'd swim the Pontchartrain.
Interlude
Oh, no, the hottest little dish I know,
I know you can tell it you makin' me so jealous
from my head down to my toes.
Oh, me, you could make a redneck green,
the way that you're lookin', you got me a cookin'
and I ain't talking 'bout étoufée.
Adalaida, pretty little Cajun queen,
sweet dixie flower, the Belle of the bayou,
you're every young man's dream.
Adalaida, I'd walk through the hurricane
to stand beside you, sweet Adalaida,
I'd swim the Pontchartrain.
Adalaida, pretty little Cajun queen,
sweet dixie flower, the Belle of the bayou,
you're every young man's dream.
Adalaida, I'd walk through the hurricane
to stand beside you, sweet Adalaida,
to stand beside you, sweet Adalaida,
just to stand beside of my sweet Adalida
I'd swim the Pontchartrain.
