Adalida lyrics by George Strait

Adalida - George Strait


A-da-li-da,
pret-ty lit-tle Ca-jun Queen
Sweet Dix-ie flo-wer,
Belle of the Ba-jou,
you're eve-ry young mans dream.

A-da-li-da,
I'd walk through a hur-ri-cane.
To stand be-side you, sweet A-da-li-da,
I'd swim the Pont--char-train.

Oh no, here you're com-ing down the road.
Well, you're cot-ton dress is swish-in',
You're get-tin' some at-ten-tion
from all the boys in Thi-bo-daux.

Oh my, real-ly fil-lin' up their eyes,
smi-lin' and a-win-kin'
I know what they're thin-kin'
but I'm the on-ly one who loves you so..

A-da-li-da,
pret-ty lit-tle Ca-jun Queen
Sweet Dix-ie flo-wer,
Belle of the Ba-jou,
you're eve-ry young mans dream.

A-da-li-da,
I'd walk through a hur-ri-cane.
To stand be-side you, sweet A-da-li-da,
I'd swim the Pont--char-train.

INSTRUMENTAL BREAK
. . . . . . . . .

. . . . . . . .

Oh no, hot-test lit-tle dish I know
I know, you can tell it,
You're mak-ing me so jeal-ous
from my head down to my toes.

Oh me, you could make a Red-neck green
Way that you are look-ing,
You got me a cook-ing
and I ain't talk-ing 'bout E-touf-fee..

A-da-li-da,
pret-ty lit-tle Ca-jun Queen
Sweet Dix-ie flo-wer,
Belle of the Ba-jou,
you're eve-ry young mans dream.

A-da-li-da,
I'd walk through a hur-ri-cane.
To stand be-side you, sweet A-da-li-da,
I'd swim the Pont--char-train.

A-da-li-da,
pret-ty lit-tle Ca-jun Queen
Sweet Dix-ie flo-wer,
Belle of the Ba-jou,
you're eve-ry young mans dream.

A-da-li-da,
I'd walk through a hur-ri-cane.
To stand be-side you, sweet A-da-li-da,
I'd swim the Pont--char-train.

To stand be-side you, sweet A-da-li-da,
To stand be-side you, sweet A-da-li-da,
Just to stand be-side a
my sweet A-da-li-da,
I'd swim the Pont-char-train.
