Down in Louisiana bayous by and by
A peirot pole or your natural soul
Keeps you tied to a tree high tide

Beer joint lights come on
And then crowd starts rollin' in
Pretty soon you got stars on the water

You got stars on the water
You got stars on the water
When it rains


Beaumont to Biloxi sea breeze at your door
Gypsy rains dang hurricanes

White silver sandy shores
Blue light lounge is shinin'
Why out on the pier

Makes it look just like stars on the water
Just like stars on the water
Just like stars on the water

When it rains

When it's midnight down in Mobile

Shining moon beams on the bay
They come from miles around
To dance the jukebox down

Th hear the good time sounds they play
And all across the harbor night life shinin' on
Makes you feel just like stars on the water

Just like stars on the water
Just like stars on the water
When it rains
