GOh my sweet Lafayette, how I'm gonna miss you
You feel so Cgood Lafayette, Gnow I've come to greet you
DTell all my friends I've come back again
CI couldn't stay aGway, I was gone only a day
But I'm comin' Cback to my sweet LafaGyette
[Verse 2]
I'm goin' Gdown to Lafayette, I don't care how long I'm gone
It's so hard to Cleave you, Lafayette, Gnow I know where I belong
When that Dsweet fiddle sounds and Clifton gets down
That Cmusic sounds so good to Gme, I just might dance until three
And I gotta get Cback to my sweet LafaGyette
Fiddle solo
[Verse 3]
GOh, those boys in Lafayette, smilin' so pretty
Those sweet Cboys in Lafayette, Gthey sure do look good to me
We danDced all night long to a sweet Cajun song
DrinkiCn' and jivin' 'til dawnG, I could dance on and on
Doin' a twoC-step in my sweet LafaGyette
[Verse 4]
GTake me back Lafayette, way down on the bayou
I'm your giCrl, Lafayette, I'Gm gonna hang around you
Eat that gDumbo and rollin' and tumble
And Cdo crazy things every niGght, soon I'll be feelin' alright
When I get baCck to my sweet LafayGette
When I get baCck to my sweet LafayGette
