Dixie Lee Leveaux
Down in Louisiana we know Cajun life moves slow
Between the cradle and the grave there's time for love to grow
The swamp it holds it's secrets but somehow I found Dixie Lee
That dark eyed Cajun beauty she meant more than life to me
Our love grew like it lay beneath some mystic voodoo spell
Warm as Louisiana sunshine stronger than a coastal gale
Like workers on a chain gang we were prisoners to our hearts
We never tried to fight the feeling we gave in right from the start
(Chorus)
Dixie Lee Leveaux, Louisiana bayou
Spanish moss hangin' from a cypress tree
A pure and simple country life, Louisiana soul
Creole love for me and Dixie Lee
(Inst.)
Down in Louisiana where the Cajun life moves slow
We count our many blessings as me and Dixie Lee grow old
We'll make that journey some day where two hearts return to dust
But our souls will live forever in the story that was us
(Chorus)
Dixie Lee Leveaux, Louisiana bayou
Spanish moss hangin' from a cypress tree
A pure and simple country life, Louisiana soul
Creole love for me and Dixie Lee
