Del Mccoury Band - Red Cajun Girl Lyrics

Nashville would you like a take of my song
All about the chain gang I've been on so long
For pullin' a knife and killin' a squirrel
Who messed with my red Cajun girl

I took her places she'd just been in dreams
Big all night parties down in Orleans
With red hair and ribbons
Made every head whirl
To stare at my red Cajun girl

Red Cajun girl, eyes black as night
Body as soft as bayou moon light
One day they'll let me back out in your world
Wait for me, red Cajun girl

One night we stepped in this blue heron bar
I got introduced as a special guest star
And while I was singin' Jole Blon
My red Cajun girl danced along

All of a sudden a stranger was there
Red she refused him
He grabbed her hair
The next thing I knew I was on the dance floor
The police came through the front door
Here they come

But I could not let her confess to this crime
I told the police the switchblade was mine
That I'd been in trouble before they could see
My red Cajun girl was set free

Red Cajun girl, eyes black as night
Body as soft as bayou moon light
And one day they'll let me back out in your world
Wait for me, red Cajun, red Cajun girl
