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
