A E
Adalida, pretty little cajun queen
E
sweet dixie flower, the belle of the bayou
A
you're every young man's dream
A D
Adalida, I'd walk through a hurricane
E
to stand beside you sweet Adalida
A
I'd swim the Pontchartrain
[Verse 1]
A E
Oh no, here you comin' down the road
With your cotton dress a swishin',
you gettin' some attention
A
from all the boys in Thibodaux
A D
Oh my you really fillin' up their eyes
E
smilin' and a-winkin', I know what they're thinkin'
A
but I'm the only one who loves you so!
[Chorus]
A E
Adalida, pretty little cajun queen
E
sweet dixie flower, the belle of the bayou
A
you're every young man's dream
A D
Adalida, I'd walk through a hurricane
E
to stand beside you sweet Adalida
A
I'd swim the Pontchartrain
[Verse 3]
A E
oh no, the hottest little dish I know
E
I know you can tell it, your makin' me so jealous,
A
From my head down to my toes
A D
oh me, you could make a redneck green,
E
the way that your a lookin', you got me cookin'
A
and I ain't talkin 'bout Etoufee'
[Chorus]
A E
Adalida, pretty little cajun queen
E
sweet dixie flower, the belle of the bayou
A
you're every young man's dream
A D
Adalida, I'd walk through a hurricane
E
to stand beside you sweet Adalida
A
I'd swim the Pontchartrain
[Chorus]
A E
Adalida, pretty little cajun queen
E
sweet dixie flower, the belle of the bayou
A
you're every young man's dream
A D
Adalida, I'd walk through a hurricane
E
to stand beside you sweet Adalida
[Outro]
E
to stand beside you sweet Adalida
E
just to stand beside you sweet Adalida
A
I'd swim the Pontchartrain
