Oh boy Friday's here again Gotta wake up and get my eight hours in I'm so tired tryin' to get to work on time But I'm smiling cause tonight is gonna be so fine
When that cantaloupe moon starts to rise Into a purple bayou sky Ain't it good to be alive deep in Louisiana Hear the fiddles playin' on through the night Where people dance till the morning light Proud as hell to live and die deep in Louisiana I say deep deep deep in Louisiana I say deep deep deep in Louisiana
Oh me how the noontime sun beats down Oh my feel the heat rise off the ground I keep working and the time goes dragging by So I daydream about how it's gonna be tonight
When that cantaloupe moon starts to rise...
You'll find we don't have much time for tears And your lonely blues are just gonna disappear
When that cantaloupe moon starts to rise...
I say deep deep deep in Louisiana I say deep deep deep in Louisiana
