Across the river an owl was callin' As he slowly made his rounds A midnight dew was softly falling On the ground, on the ground
She was standing by the campfire I watched her move into the dance And when she looked at me with those sexy eyes They seemed to say, "Hey boy, d'ya wanna take a chance?"
Bayou woman you make me feel it Dancing barefoot in the night Moving softly in the shadows In the pale moonlight
(Instrumental Break)
Behind the clouds, the moon was slipping I felt her move into my arms She said, "Are you into skinnin'?" I said, "Anything baby, to keep warm"
Bayou woman you make me feel it Runnin' barefoot in the night Standing golden by the river In the pale moonlight
(Instrumental Break)
Bayou woman you make me feel it Dancin' barefoot in the night Moving softly in the shadows In the pale, pale moonlight.
