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 breeze

Her daddy warned me
Boy, don't come 'round here no more
But here I am knockin'
On sweet Betty's door

Louisiana moon
Done cast it's spell on me
(Yeah)
Louisiana moon
Makes a man do crazy things

We slipped off to a place
In the swamp where nobody goes
Down by the water
Where the snakes and the alligator's play

Nobody follows
'Cause there's evil in there
Uh, I ain't scared of nothin'
When I'm holdin' Betty tight

Louisiana moon
Done cast it's spell on me
(Yeah)
Louisiana moon
Makes a man do crazy things

I can't stay away
'Cause I love the thrill
If the gator's don't get me
Her daddy will

Louisiana 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 things

Louisiana moon
Done cast it's spell on me
