Adalida

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
