Down in Louisiana, bayous by and by A 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 You got stars on the water, when it rains. Beaumont to Biloxi, Sea breeze at your door Gypsy rings, dang hurricanes White silver sandy shore Blue Light lounge is shinin' Way out on the piers. Makes it look just like stars on the water Just like stars on the water Just like stars on the water, when it rains When it's midnight down in Mobile Shinin' moonbeams on the bay They come from miles around To dance the jukebox down To hear the good time sounds they play All across the harbour Night lights shinin' on. Makes you feel just like stars on the water Just like stars on the water Just like stars on the water, when it rains. Makes you feel just like stars on the water Just like stars on the water Just like stars on the water, when it rains.
