In the bayous haunted by Evangeline
In the pre-dawn hours close to Halloween
Thereâs a mist thatâs hanging right in between
The Spanish moss & the cypress LEAVES
And the memory of the life thatâs gone wrong
Câest plus quand possible
Tu les sais Acadienne
Iâm a driver alone in my Cadillac
In a white chair rug youâll be thinking back
Heâll be running wild as a child tonight
And the snakes and âgators they was friends of mine
Iâll forever be un petit Acadien
Câest plus quand possible
Tu les sais Acadienne
And the father never found peace enough
To cure his permanent wanderlust
Every time weâd get settled down
Weâd wake up heading for another town
From the Louisiana to the Florida
Thatâs a be my home to a (un-im-up ???)
Thatâs a simple people donât complicate
And you hear the future in the hands of fate
And the life you get is the life that I want
Câest plus quand possible
Tu le sais Acadienne
And my father never found peace enough
To cure his permanent wanderlust
Every time weâd get settled down
Weâd wake up heading for another town
Hear me boy cos your love is why
You got two three words you gonna be alright
And thereâs powerful forces out up the swamp
Itâll be forever, make it permanent
And the life you get is the life that I want
Câest plus quand possible
Tu le sais Acadienne
Câest plus quand possible
Tu le sais Acadienne
