The baby that the preacher gave you in the Spring
Spent the winter with his finger in the undertaker's ring
Oh Cajun woman, some people still call you a queen
I dont believe youre sinking but look at all the trouble youve been
He grew up in the bayou with a bible round his neck
He never loved a woman the way you would expect
Oh Cajun woman, some people still call you a queen
I dont believe youre sinking but look at all the trouble youve been
Don't tell him 'bout his Father, don't tell him 'bout his name
The Gods won't get to Heaven if you crucify his brain
Oh Cajun woman, some people still call you a queen
I dont believe youre sinking but look at all the trouble youve been
Well its welcome to the graveyard and welcome to the throne
Welcome to the orphanage where your family sit and moan
Welcome to the liquor store and welcome to the poor
Your momma never told you how lucky you are
Oh Cajun woman, some people still call you a queen
I dont believe youre sinking but look at all the trouble youve been
Great song from Fairport Convention's Unhalfbricking album. Written by Richard
Thomson and lead vocals by Sandy Denny backed by everyone else except for Iain
Matthews who was unfortunately kicked out of the band during this album's recording.
