[Chorus]

Adalida, pretty little Cajun queen

Sweet Dixie flower, the belle of the bayou

You're every young man's dream

Adalida, I'd walk through a hurricane

To stand beside you, sweet Adalida

I'd swim the Pontchartrain

[Verse 1]

Oh no, hear you coming down the road

With your cotton dress a-swishin', you're getting some attention

From all the boys in Thibodaux

Oh my, really filling up their eyes

Smilin' and a-winkin', I know what they're thinkin'

But I'm the only one who loves you so

[Chorus]

Adalida, pretty little Cajun queen

Sweet Dixie flower, the belle of the bayou

You're every young man's dream

Adalida, I'd walk through a hurricane

To stand beside you, sweet Adalida

I'd swim the Pontchartrain

[Verse 2]

Oh no, hottest little dish I know

I know you can tell it, you're making me so jealous

From my head down to my toes

Oh me, you could make a redneck green

The way that you're lookin', you got me cookin'

And I ain’t talking 'bout étouffée

[Chorus]

Adalida, pretty little Cajun queen

Sweet Dixie flower, the belle of the bayou

You're every young man's dream

Adalida, I'd walk through a hurricane

To stand beside you, sweet Adalida

I'd swim the Pontchartrain

[Outro]

To stand beside you, sweet Adalida

To stand beside you, sweet Adalida

Just to stand beside a my sweet Adalida

I'd swim the Pontchartrain
