Cajun Woman chords by Fairport Convention

Chords with lyrics

The baby that the preacher gave you in the Spring

Spent the winter with his finger in the undertaker's ring

Oh Cajun woman, some people still call you a queen
      G+G            FF               C majorC   G+G
I don’t believe you’re sinking but look at all the trouble you’ve been


C majorC
He grew up in the bayou with a bible ‘round his neck

He never loved a woman the way you would expect

FF                       C majorC
Oh Cajun woman, some people still call you a queen
      G+G            FF               C majorC   G+G
I don’t believe you’re sinking but look at all the trouble you’ve been


C majorC
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


FF                       C majorC
Oh Cajun woman, some people still call you a queen
      G+G            FF               C majorC   G+G
I don’t believe you’re sinking but look at all the trouble you’ve been

Well it’s welcome to the graveyard and welcome to the throne

Welcome to the orphanage where your family sit and moan
FF
Welcome to the liquor store and welcome to the poor
   C majorC
Your momma never told you how lucky you are


FF                       C majorC
Oh Cajun woman, some people still call you a queen
      G+G            FF               C majorC   G+G
I don’t believe you’re sinking but look at all the trouble you’ve been
