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

Oh no, here you're comin' down the road
With your cotton dress a swishin'
You gettin some attention from all the boys in Thibodaux
Oh my, you're really fillin' up their eyes
Smilin' and a winkin', I know what they're thinkin'
But I'm the only one who loves you so!

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

Oh no, the hottest little dish I know
I know you can tell it, you're makin' me so jealous
From my head down to my toes
Oh me, you could make a redneck green
The way that your a-lookin', you got me a-cookin'
And I ain't talkin 'bout Etoufee'

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

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

To stand beside you, sweet Adalida
To stand beside you, sweet Adalida
Just to stand beside of my sweet Adalida
I'd swim the Pontchartrain
