[chorus]
Adalida, pretty little Cajun queen
Sweet Dixie flower, the bell of the bayou
You’re every young man's dream
Adalida, I’d walk through the hurricane 
To stand beside ya sweet Adalida I’d swim the Ponchartrain

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

[chorus]

Oh no, the hottest little dish I know
I know that you can tell it
You’re making me so jealous
From my head down to my toes
Oh me, you could make a red neck green
The way that you’re a looking
You got me a cooking
And I ain’t talking bout Etoufee’

[chorus 2x]

To stand beside ya sweet Adalida
To stand beside ya sweet Adalida
Just to stand beside of my sweet Adalida
I’d swim the Ponchartrain
