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
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
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
