Cajun Born Lyrics

Left pretty Jo I was born on the bayoo thirty miles out of LaFaiette My daddy was a cajun man and he taught me how to plow I remember mama's breakfast goosh-goosh in the caye Steams're upon the banje I wish I had me some now I'm a cajun born I'm a cajun bread and when I die I'll be cajun dead If I die in Alaska if I die in Ohio my soul will find its way back to the bayou Went to church every Sunday had a Frensh talkin' preacher man We kids joked about the preacher man cause we thought he wore a dress After church we had a party cajun music on the phonograph Harry Short singing Jole Blon made a singer out of me I'm a cajun born... [ acordeon ] When I get enough to marry get myself a cajun lady Some sorta like my mama cause I ain't no other no other kind And wherever fortune takes me with the breaks or makes me Memory won't forsake me got Louisiana on my mind I'm a cajun born...
