| C | |
| The moon is full and my heart is why |
| G | C | |
| I love to dance oh | me oh my |
| gonna have more fun than a tree in a coon |
| G | C | |
| tonight's the dance of the | Cajun Moon |
| Chorus |
| F | C | G | C | |
| Cajun | Moon | nugget of | gold |
| F | C | G | |
| river of | light on the | bayou |
| F | C | |
| you're just like | rain |
| G | Am | |
| to a love in | bloom so |
| F | C | G | G | C | |
| shine on | me | oh | Cajun | Moon |
| Pick ups and wagons 'round the river road shack |
| bonfires draw in a crowd out back |
| step through the door and I see my Sheri |
| that's when I see her mamas eyes on me |
| Chorus |
| Guitar, a squeeze box, a fiddle, a bow |
| little band a-playin' every song they know |
| old woman sittin' there and yellin' for more |
| my heart is willin', but my feet - they're so sore! |
| Chorus |
| Once more we're waltzin' to Jolie Blond |
| I lean in closer and Sheri responds |
| her mama's smilin' as we slip from the room |
| to sit and stare at the Cajun Moon |
| Chorus |
