Lyrics

Ce Soir C'est Bon (Bill Wharton)

Down in Louisiana there’s a girl that I once knew

Her daddy played piana and her mamma sang the blues

She would wail on the violin and dance beneath the moon

And then with a voice of an angel she’d sing a cajun tune

Ce soir c'est bon laissez les bon temps rouler

Ce soir c'est bon gonna be ok

Ce soir c'est bon what a beautiful day

Ce soir c'est bon laissez les bon temps rouler

Yeah we had a time down there where life’s a fais dodo

Hanging on the bayou in her cajun bungalow

Every night was a party every night was a show

Every night she would sing that song and let the good times roll

Ce soir c'est bon laissez les bon temps rouler

Sometimes late at night when the new moon shows a grin

Sometimes she will wake me from within the dream she’s in

From far away she’ll shake me and ask me how you been

And then I hear her singing that cajun tune again

Ce soir c'est bon laissez les bon temps rouler
