WHEN the bayous haunted by Evangeline

In the pre-dawn hours close to Halloween

 There’s a mist that’s hanging right in between

The Spanish moss & the cypress TREES

 And the memory of the life that’s gone wrong

C’est plus que possible

Tu le sais Acadienne

I’m a driver alone in my Cadillac

In a white chair rug you’ll be thinking back

TO be running wild as a child OF NINE

 And the snakes and ‘gators they was friends of mine

I’ll forever be un petit Acadien

C’est plus que possible

Tu le sais Acadienne

And MY father never found peace enough

To cure his permanent wanderlust

Cmajor2

Every time we’d get settled down

 We’d wake up heading for another town

From the Louisiana to the Florida

That’s a be my home to a (un-im-up ???)

 That’s a simple people don’t complicate

 And you hear the future in the hands of fate

 And the life you get is the life that I want

C’est plus que possible

Tu le sais Acadienne

Cmajor2

And my father never found peace enough

To cure his permanent wanderlust

Cmajor2

Every time we’d get settled down

We’d wake up heading for another town

Gamjor

Hear me boy cos your love is why

You got two three words you gonna be alright

 And there’s powerful forces out up the swamp

 It’ll be forever, make it permanent

And the life you get is the life that I want

C’est plus que possible

Gamjor

Tu le sais Acadienne

C’est plus que possible

Tu le sais Acadienne
