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
