Cajun Girl Lyrics

Cajun Girl lyrics

Bill Payne, Martin Kibbee 



Serious blue eyes, so pale and so shy 

Look closer 'cause she's got that look in her eye 

Red hair that sails on a soft southern breeze 

Fingers that fly on accordion keys 

  

You ain't seen nothin', 'till you've seen my cajun girl 

She's really somethin', my sweet singing cajun girl 

  

Cook cajun, speak creole, and lay on the spice 

Her fancy so free on these Saturday nights 

She sings and she plays at the parish hall dance 

Big city chanteuses just don't stand a chance 

  

You ain't seen nothin', 'till you've seen my cajun girl 

She's really somethin', my sweet singing cajun girl 

  

Might find me a dream, just West of New Orleans 

If you pole up the bayou St. John 

The way twin fiddles play 

And she squeezes her box until dawn 

All night they carry on 

  

Tell long leg Lucille I must send my regrets 

It's nothin' she's done, it's just someone I met 

With innocent heart, true talent so rare 

She bloom on the bayou, this flower so fair 

  

You ain't seen nothin', 'till you've seen my cajun girl 

She's really somethin', my sweet singing cajun girl 

You ain't seen nothin', 'till you've seen my cajun girl 

  

Might find me a dream, just West of New Orleans 

If you pole up the bayou St. John 

The way twin fiddles play 

And she squeezes her box until dawn 

All night they carry on
