When a Cajun Man Gets the Blues

Ma chérie, she has left me for good,
 After I gave my love for so long.
 She's out there with somebody new,
 And I just can't sit here alone, no.
 But it's so hard to drive with these tears in my eyes,
 And it takes a long time to get to Baton Rouge.
 And all I want is to hear somebody play my song,
 Lord when a Cajun man gets the blues.
 ...
 When I'm feeling the weight of the water
 Lord I know that there's blues in the Quarter
 If I could hold back my tears and make it there, I'd be alright
 But I might need you, New Orleans, every night
 And I don't know where I'd be without you
 Yeah you've been there for me all the while
 From Lafayette, to Thibodaux to Lake Charles
 And from Cocodrie to Shreveport to Grand Isle.
 Now when I'm feeling the pain, the bayou's calling my name
 And that's an offer I can't refuse
 Oh it's hard to miss you, Louisiana
 When a Cajun man gets the blues
 Yes it's hard to miss you, Louisiana
 When this Cajun man got the blues.
 End.
