Cajun Born

 

Cajun Born Lyrics

i was born on the bayou
thirty miles of Layfayette
my daddy was a cajun man
lord he tought us how to plow
i remember mama`s breakfast
cush cush and a kaye
being served on a banyee
oh i wish i had some now

i`m a cajun born
i`m a cajun bred
when i die
i`m a cajun dead
if i die in Alaska
if i die in Ohio
this soul will find its way back to the bayou

we went to church every sunday
we had a french speaking preacher man
joked about the preacher man
cause we thought he wore a dress

after church we had a party
we played the music on the phonograph
we had a man singing jole blan
made a sinner out of me

(repeat chours)

when i`m ready to be married
i`m going to be this cajun lady
some sorta like my mamma
cause there ain`t no other kind
cause there ain`t no other kind

wherever fortune takes me
if it makes me or it breaks me
its memories will forsake me
louisiana on my mind

(repeat chours)

if i die in alaska,if i die in ohio
this soul will find it`s way back to the bayou
