Cajun Woman

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 dont believe youre sinking but look at all the trouble youve 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 dont believe youre sinking but look at all the trouble youve 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 G F C G i dont believe youre sinking but look at all the trouble youve been C well its 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 i dont believe youre sinking but look at all the trouble youve been great song from fairport convention’s unhalfbricking album . written by richard thomson and lead vocals by sandy denny backed by everyone else except for iain matthews who was unfortunately kicked out of the band during this album’s recording .
