[Verse 1]
Oh, my sweet Lafayette
How I'm gonna miss you
You feel so good, Lafayette
Now I've come back to greet you
Tell my friends I'll be up back again
I couldn't stay away
I was gone only a day
But I'm comin' back to my sweet Lafayette
[Verse 2]
I'm goin' down Lafayette
I don't care how long I'm gone
It's hard to leave you, Lafayette
Now I know where I belong
When that sweet fiddle sounds and Clifton gets down
The music sounds so good to me
I might just dance until three
When I get back to my sweet Lafayette
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
Oh, those girls, Lafayette
Smilin' so pretty
Those sweet girls, Lafayette
Sure think the world of me
We danced all night long to a sweet Cajun song
Drinkin' and jivin' 'til dawn
I could dance on and on
Doin' a two-step in my sweet Lafayette
[Verse 4]
Take me back, Lafayette
Way down on the bayou
Here I am, Lafayette
And I'm gonna hang around
Eatin' that gumbo and rollin' and tumblin'
Do crazy things every night
Soon I'll be feelin' alright
When I get back to my sweet Lafayette
When I get back to my sweet Lafayette
