[Verse 1]
Oh, my sweet Lafayette
How I'm gonna miss you
You feel so good, Lafayette
Now I've come to greet you
Tell all my friends I've come back again
I couldn't stay away
I was gone only a day
But I'm comin' back to my sweet Lafayette

[Verse 2]
I'm goin' down to Lafayette
I don't care how long I'm gone
It's so hard to leave you, Lafayette
Now I know where I belong
When that sweet fiddle sounds and Clifton gets down
That music sounds so good to me
I just might dance until three
And I gotta get back to my sweet Lafayette

[Fiddle Solo]

[Verse 3]
Oh, those boys in Lafayette
Smilin' so pretty
Those sweet boys in Lafayette
They sure do look good to me
We danced all night long to a sweet Cajun song
Drinkin', jivin' 'til dawn
I could dance on and on
Doin' a two-step in my sweet Lafayette
[Verse 4]
Take me back, Lafayette
Way down the bayou
I'm your girl, Lafayette
And I'm gonna hang around you
Eat that gumbo and roll and tumble
And do crazy things every night
Soon I'll be feelin' alright
When I get back to my sweet Lafayette
When I get back to my sweet Lafayette
