Chorus:
Adalida, pretty little Cajun queen
Sweet Dixie flower, the bell of the bayou
Youâ??re every young mans dream
Adalida, Iâ??d walk through the hurricane
To stand beside ya sweet Adalida Iâ??d swim the Ponchartrain

Oh no, here ya coming down the road
With your cotton dress a swishing
Youâ??re getting some attention
From all the boys in Thibodaux
Oh my, youâ??re really filling up their eyes
Smiling and a winking
I know what theyâ??re thinking
But Iâ??m the only one who loves you so

Repeat Chorus

Oh no, the hottest little dish I know
I know that you can tell it
Youâ??re making me so jealous
From my head down to my toes
Oh me, you could make a red neck green
The way that youâ??re a looking
You got me a cooking
And I ainâ??t talking bout Etoufeeâ??

Repeat Chorus (x2)

To stand beside ya sweet Adalida
To stand beside ya sweet Adalida
Just to stand beside of my sweet Adalida
Iâ??d swim the Ponchartrain
