Cajun Born |
| I was born on the bayou |
| Thirty miles out of Lafayette |
| My daddy was a Cajun man |
| Lord, he taught us how to plow |
| I remember mama’s breakfast |
| Cush cush and a cane |
| Being served on a beignet |
| Lord, I wish I had some now |
| I’m a Cajun-born, I’m a Cajun-bred |
| And when I die, I’m a Cajun dead |
| If I die in Alaska, if I die in Ohio |
| This soul will find its way back to the bayou |
| We went to church every Sunday |
| We had a French-speaking preacher man |
| We joked about the preacher man |
| 'Cause we thought he wore a dress, yes |
| After church we had a party |
| We played our music on the phonograph |
| We had a man singing «Jole Blon» |
| Oh, made a sinner out of me |
| I’m a Cajun-born, I’m a Cajun-bred |
| And when I die, I’m a Cajun dead |
| If I die in Alaska, if I die in Ohio |
| This soul will find its way back to the bayou |
| When I’m ready to be married |
| I’m gonna be his Cajun lady |
| Something sort of like my mama |
| 'Cause I ain’t no other kind, oh, no other kind |
| 'Ever fortune takes me |
| If it makes me or it breaks me |
| These memories won’t forsake me |
| Louisiana on my mind |
| I’m a Cajun-born, I’m a Cajun-bred |
| And when I die, I’m a Cajun dead |
| If I die in Alaska, if I die in Ohio |
| This soul will find its way back to the bayou |
| If I die in Alaska, if I die in Ohio |
| This soul will find its way back to the bayou |
