One summer night he’ll light a lantern He’ll catch a tiny firefly in a jar Set her dancing on the mantle Like a piece of star
See how the boy lays low He wants the shiver in her wing See him hiding in the willow Playing with lightning
You don’t know me I don’t know you And the summer’s come again My oh my, the sparks are flyin’ All over Lousianne
There’s lots of fishes in the sea I swear I’m gonna catch one in my hand Make him dance for me In the fryin’ pan
You don’t know me I don’t know you And the summer’s come again My oh my, the fish are flyin’ All over Lousianne
In your eyes there’s a light It comes and it goes without a sound If I hold on tight It’s gonna burn me to the ground
You don’t know me I don’t know you And the summer’s come again My oh my, the sparks are flyin’ All over Lousianne Our lives go by like sparks are flyin’ All over Lousianne
