| Down in Louisiana, bayous by and by
|
| Pirogue pole or your natural soul
|
| Keeps you tied to a tree high tide
|
| Beer joint lights come on
|
| And then the crowd starts rollin' in
|
| Pretty soon you got stars on the water
|
| You got stars on the water
|
| It’s like stars on the water, let it rain
|
| Beaumont to Biloxi
|
| Sea breeze at your door
|
| Gypsy rains, dang hurricanes
|
| White silver sandy shore
|
| «Blue Light» lounge is shinin'
|
| Way out on the view
|
| It looks just like stars on the water
|
| Just like stars on the water
|
| Just like stars on the water, let it rain
|
| (guitar instrumental)
|
| When it’s midnight down in Mobile
|
| Moonbeams on the bay
|
| They come from miles around to dance the jukebox down
|
| And dig the good time sounds they play
|
| All across the harbour
|
| Night lights shinin' in
|
| It looks just like stars on the water
|
| Just like stars on the water
|
| Just like stars on the water, let it rain
|
| Pretty soon ya got stars on the water
|
| You got stars on the water
|
| It’s like stars on the water, let it rain
