Oh my sweet Lafayette
How I'm gonna miss you
You feel so good, Lafayette
Now I've come back to greet you
Tell all my friends
I've come back again
I couldn't stay away
I was gone only a day
But I'm coming back
To my sweet Lafayette
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
Music sounds so good to me
I might just dance until three
When I get back
To my sweet Lafayette
Oh those girls, Lafayette
Smilin' so pretty
Those sweet girls, Lafayette
Sure think the world of me
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
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
How I'm gonna miss you
You feel so good, Lafayette
Now I've come back to greet you
Tell all my friends
I've come back again
I couldn't stay away
I was gone only a day
But I'm coming back
To my sweet Lafayette
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
Music sounds so good to me
I might just dance until three
When I get back
To my sweet Lafayette
Oh those girls, Lafayette
Smilin' so pretty
Those sweet girls, Lafayette
Sure think the world of me
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
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
