Am7 I think back to the time When I first saw your face Dm7 You were walkin' across the delta Am7 To your cold and lonely place C You know, I took you for a small girl E7 Really not quite seventeen Dm7 Oh, Lord, but I was wrong, oh so wrong Am7 You're like a woman I've never seen
Am7 Dark eyed Cajun woman Where are you comin' from Dm7 Your soul is in the back woods Am7 They say you never had a home C But I'm gonna know you better E7 If it takes all night and day Dm7 Dark eyed Cajun woman Am7 You'll never get away, no, no F Now the evenin' is blowin' Am7 I hear your voice most everywhere F Your cold, black eyes They are dancin' in the starlight Am7 Warmin' the cold night air G E7 It's so beautiful, you know I have to say Dm7 Dark eyed Cajun woman Am7 E7 You'll never get away
