Hearing It In French

C G C C I met her down in Baton Rouge about a year ago G We were listening to a band that played at a place called Zydeco F C F I finally got the nerve up to say come dance with me C G C And my knees turned to butter when she answered "C'est la vie" N.C. C I told her don't say goodbye my love just tell me "Au revoir" G Don't say goodnight just let me hear "Mon cher, bon soir" F C F She wrapped my heart around her little finger inch by inch G C Cause everything sounds better when you're hearing it in French. C G C C I don't recall a lot of what she said to me that night G It never really mattered cause she made it all sound right F C F When the night was over she was gone like cajun smoke C G C But I still recall the language of the angels that she spoke N.C.

C G F C F C G C C Now every chance I get I take the drive to Baton Rouge G And stopping down at Zydecos to hear a song or two F C F Well, if she's ever in there, boys, just get out of my way C G C Cause I got a few more phrases that I'd love to hear her say N.C.
