Cajun Woman Chords & Lyrics by Fairport Convention
Cajun Woman
guitar chords lyrics
C
The baby that the preacher gave you in the Spring
Spent the winter with his finger in the undertaker's ring
F C
Oh Cajun woman, some people still call you a queen
G F C G
I don�t believe you�re sinking but look at all the trouble you�ve been
C
He grew up in the bayou with a bible �round his neck
He never loved a woman the way you would expect
F C
Oh Cajun woman, some people still call you a queen
G F C G
I don�t believe you�re sinking but look at all the trouble you�ve been
C
Don't tell him 'bout his Father, don't tell him 'bout his name
The Gods won't get to Heaven if you crucify his brain
F C
Oh Cajun woman, some people still call you a queen
G F C G
I don�t believe you�re sinking but look at all the trouble you�ve been
C
Well it�s welcome to the graveyard and welcome to the throne
Welcome to the orphanage where your family sit and moan
F
Welcome to the liquor store and welcome to the poor
C
Your momma never told you how lucky you are
F C
Oh Cajun woman, some people still call you a queen
G F C G
I don�t believe you�re sinking but look at all the trouble you�ve been
