George Harvey Strait (born May 18, 1952) is an American country music artist. George Strait has marked a monumental career achievement by having more number one hit singles than any living artist, a total of 52, second only to the late Conway Twitty. Out of all the new country singers to emerge in the early '80s, George Strait stayed the closest to traditional country. Drawing from both the honky tonk and Western swing traditions, Strait didn't refashion the genres; instead, he revitalized them for a new decade. In the process, he became one of the most popular and influential singers of the decade, sparking a wave of neo-traditionalist singers from Randy Travis and Dwight Yoakam to Clint Black, Garth Brooks, and Alan Jackson.

Adalide Lyrics

George Strait

Chorus:
Adalida, pretty little cajun queen
Sweet dixie flower, the belle of the bayou
Youre every young mans dream
Adalida, Id walk through a hurricane
To stand beside you sweet adalida
Id 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 the thibodaux
Oh my your really feelin up their eyes
Smilin and a winkin, I know what theyre thinkin
But Im the only one who loves you so!
Repeat chorus
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 youre a lookin, you got me cookin
And I aint talkin bout etoufee
