Cajun Woman Chords

   
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

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
