Johnny Cash — Cajun Born

Left pretty Jo. I was born on the bayou, thirty miles out of Lafayette My daddy was a Cajun man and he taught me how to plow I remember mama's breakfast goosh-goosh in the caye Steam syrup upon the banje, I wish I had some now I'm a Cajun born, I'm a Cajun bred and when I die I'll be Cajun dead If I die in Alaska if I die in Ohio, my soul will find it's way back to the bayou Went to church every Sunday, had a French talking preacher man We kids joked about the preacher man because 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 When I get enough to marry, get myself a Cajun lady Something sort of like my mama because I'm not another 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
