Cajun Girl

Serious blue eyes

so pale and so shy

Look closer 'cause she's got

that look in her eye

Red hair that sails

on a soft southern breeze

Fingers that fly

on accordion keys

You ain't seen nothin', 'till you've seen my cajun girl

She's really somethin', my sweet singing cajun girl

Cook cajun, speak creole

and lay on the spice

Her fancy so free

on these Saturday nights

She sing and she play

at the parish hall dance

Big city chanteuses

just don't stand a chance

You ain't seen nothin', 'till you've seen my cajun girl

She's really somethin', my sweet singing cajun girl

Might find my dream, just West of New Orleans

If you pole up the bayou St. John

The way twin fiddles play

And she squeezes her box 'til dawn

All night they carry on

Tell long leg Lucille

I must send my regrets

It's nothin' she done

it's just someone I met

With innocent heart

true talent so rare

She bloom on the bayou

this flower so fair

You ain't seen nothin', 'till you've seen my cajun girl

She's really somethin', my sweet singing cajun girl

You ain't seen nothin', 'till you've seen my cajun girl

Might find my dream, just West of New Orleans

If you pole up the bayou St. John

The way twin fiddles play

And she squeeze on her box 'til dawn

All night they carry on
