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
