Virginia Coalition - Atchafalaya lyrics

It was a dream I had a long time ago

Louisiana rain comes falling down

It was a song I sang a long time ago

It was the girl I tried to sing it with

And the colors that she wore to bed

Momma told her not to go

Daddy threw the radio

Didn't think you'd really care

Atchafalaya love affair

Louisiana

He was a bayou boy, he wore the corduroy

It was safe to say he lived his life in chains

He was the great white hurting

She was a bible girl, wasn't known to whirl

She was all she ever thought that she could be

Maybe just a little bit more tonight for me

Momma told her not to go

Daddy threw the radio

Didn't think you'd really care

Atchafalaya love affair

Louisiana...went a little like this

It was a dream I had a long time ago

Louisiana, Roosevelt, and me

Walking backwards in the rain

It was a song I sang a long time ago

It was the girl I tried to sing it with

And the colors that she wore to bed

Momma told her not to go

Daddy threw the radio

Didn't think you'd really care

Atchafalaya love affair

Louisiana love

Atchafalaya along with me

Louisiana love...

It went a little like this
