Sandy Denny - Cajun Woman lyrics

The baby that the preacher gave you in the spring

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

Chorus

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

He grew up in the bayou with a Bible around his neck

He never loved a woman in the way you would expect

(chorus)

Don't tell him about his father don't tell him about his name

The gods won't get to heaven if you crucify his brain

(chorus)

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

Welcome to the orphanage where your family sit and moan

Welcome to the liquor stile and welcome to the poor

Your mama never told you how lucky you are

(chorus)
