(G) Down in Louisiana, bayous by and by
Pirogue pole or your natural soul
Keeps you tied to a tree high tide
(Em)Beer joint lights come on
And then the (G) crowd starts rollin' in

Pretty soon you got (G) stars on the water
You got stars on the water
It's like (Em) stars on the water, (G) let it rain

(G) Beaumont to Biloxi
Sea breeze at your door
Gypsy rains, dang hurricanes
White silver sandy shore
(Em) "Blue Light" lounge is shinin'
(G) Way out on the pier

It looks just like (G) stars on the water
Just like stars on the water
Just like (Em) stars on the water, let it (G) rain

When it's (G) midnight down in Mobile
Moonbeams on the bay
They come from miles around to dance the jukebox down
And dig the good time sounds they play
(Em) All across the harbour
(G) Night lights shinin' in

It looks just like (G) stars on the water
Just like stars on the water
Just like (Em) stars on the water, let it (G) rain
It looks just like (G) stars on the water
Just like stars on the water
Just like (Em) stars on the water, let it (G) rain
