WHEN the bayous haunted by Evangeline
In the pre-dawn hours close to Halloween
C
There??s a mist that??s hanging right in between
G
The Spanish moss & the cypress TREES
DG
And the memory of the life that??s gone wrong
D
C??est plus que possible

Tu le sais Acadienne
G
I??m a driver alone in my Cadillac
In a white chair rug you??ll be thinking back
C
TO be running wild as a child OF NINE
G
And the snakes and ??gators they was friends of mine
DG
I??ll forever be un petit Acadien
D
C??est plus que possible

Tu le sais Acadienne

And MY father never found peace enough
G
To cure his permanent wanderlust
Cmajor2
Every time we??d get settled down
D
We??d wake up heading for another town
G
That??s a be my home to a (un-im-up ???)
C
That??s a simple people don??t complicate
G
And you hear the future in the hands of fate
DG
And the life you get is the life that I want
D
C??est plus que possible

And there??s powerful forces out up the swamp
