Cajun Born

A                                 
I was born on the bayou thirty 
              E
miles out of Lafayette
My daddy was a Cajun man and he 
                  A
taught me how to plow
                      E    
I remember mama's breakfast 
                     A
goosh-goosh in the caye
                      E          
Steams're upon the banje I wish I 
              A
had me some now

[Chorus]
             E                 A
I'm a Cajun born I'm a Cajun bread
                               E
And when I die I'll be Cajun dead
               A                 D
If I die in Alaska if I die in Ohio
               E                 
My soul will find its way back to 
       A
the bayou

[Verse]

A                                 
Went to church every Sunday had a 
                         E
French talkin' preacher man
We kids joked about the preacher man
                              A
 cause we thought he wore a dress
                        E        
After church we had a party Cajun 
                  A
music on the phonograph
               E                   
Harry Short singing Jole Blon made 
                 A
a singer out of me

[Chorus]
             E                 A
I'm a Cajun born I'm a Cajun bread
                               E
And when I die I'll be Cajun dead
               A                 D
If I die in Alaska if I die in Ohio
               E                 
My soul will find its way back to 
       A
the bayou

[Verse]
A                            
When I get enough to marry get 
                   E
myself a Cajun lady
Some sort like my mama cause I ain't
            A
 no other kind
                       E           
And wherever fortune takes me with 
                     A
the breaks or makes me
                E          
Memory won't forsake me got 
                  A
Louisiana on my mind

[Chorus]
             E                 A
I'm a Cajun born I'm a Cajun bread
                               E
And when I die I'll be Cajun dead
               A                 D
If I die in Alaska if I die in Ohio
               E                 
My soul will find its way back to 
       A
the bayou
