There's a full moon risin'
Comin' up behind them cypress trees
Betty Jo ain't wearin' nothin' 'round her body
But a cool night breezeHer daddy warned me
Boy, don't come 'round here no more
But here I am knockin'
On sweet Betty's doorLouisiana moon
Done cast it's spell on me
(Yeah)
Louisiana moon
Makes a man do crazy thingsWe slipped off to a place
In the swamp where nobody goes
Down by the water
Where the snakes and the alligator's playNobody follows
'Cause there's evil in there
Uh, I ain't scared of nothin'
When I'm holdin' Betty tightLouisiana moon
Done cast it's spell on me
(Yeah)
Louisiana moon
Makes a man do crazy thingsI can't stay away
'Cause I love the thrill
If the gator's don't get me
Her daddy willLouisiana moon
Done cast it's spell on me
(Yeah, oh yeah, yeah)
Louisiana moon
Makes a man do crazy things
(Yeah)Louisiana moon
Done cast it's spell on me
(Yeah)
Louisiana moon
Makes a man do crazy, crazy things
(Oh)Louisiana moon
Done cast it's spell on me
(Yeah)
Louisiana moon
Makes a man do crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy thingsLouisiana moon
Done cast it's spell on me
