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
