Adalida

WV2226/2025

Coloured pencils & ecoline ink on Steinbach paper.

 

"Adalida, pretty little cajun queen.

Sweet dixie flower, the belle of the bayou-

You're every young man's dream.

Adalida, I'd walk through a hurricane

To stand beside you sweet Adalida I'd swim the Pontchartrain.

 

Oh no, here you comin' down the road.

With your cotton dress a swishin', you gettin' some attention

From all the boys in Thibodaux.

Oh my, you really fillin' up their eyes.

Smilin' and a winkin', I know what they're thinkin',

But I'm the only one who loves you so!

 

Oh no, the hottest little dish I know.

I know you can tell it

You makin' me so jealous from my head down to my toes.

Oh me, you could make a redneck green.

The way that you're a lookin' you got me cookin',

And I ain't talkin' 'bout Etoufee'..."

 

ADALIDA - George Strait, 1995.
