Lafayette

[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
