We had just got married
When I picked up and left home
Headed out to California
Gonna make it in the oil boom
It was back in '57
In a worn out Chevrolet..
Ceasar Junior held the squeeze box
Though he was too young to play
Chorus:
One kiss from the lady's love
One kiss is all it takes
One kiss from the lady's love
That's the one, that's the one
That you'll never forget
It's been thirty years
Around the San Francisco Bay
Ceasar Junior plays the squeeze box
Just like the king Clifton Chenier
When we get together
Down at 'Ti Jolie
I'm always asking about you
Maybe you asking about me
Chorus
Leave the light burning all through the night"
Leave the light burning, oh, oh so bright
I am just a working man
I use my hands most everyday
I got a lot of feeling, but I ain't got much to say
I got a house full of Cajun kids
And I love them every one
But some times I get to lonely
I sing the French blues all night long
