Cajun Born - 2003 Remaster

Lyrics

I was born on the Bayou
 Thirty miles outta Lafayette
 My daddy was a Cajun man
 Lord he taught us how to plow
 I remember mama's breakfast
 Cush Cush and a Kaye
 Being served on a Banyee
 Lord, I wish I had some now
 I'm a Cajun born
 I'm a Cajun bred
 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
 Joked about the preacher man
 'Cause we thought he wore a dress
 After church we had a party
 We played the music on the phonograph
 We had a man singing Jole Blan
 Made a sinner out of me
 I'm a Cajun born
 I'm a Cajun bred
 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 going to be this Cajun lady
 Some sorta like my mamma
 'Cause there ain't no other kind
 No, no other kind
 Wherever fortune takes me
 If it makes me or it breaks me
 Its memories will 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
