Song Lyrics

The Cajun Queen
Jimmy Dean

She kinda breezed into town from New Orleans,
And said, "Boys, I`m Big John`s Cajun Queen,
Now I didn`t come here to argue or waste anbody`s time,
I just came to get my man from your dirty old mine,
`Cause he moves me!
Now where you give up`s where old Queenie`s gonna start,
`Cause I got a powerful love in my heart,
So just show me the hole way down in the ground,
And tell the whole wide world Big John`s been found,
And he`s livin`!"

So down in the mine without a sign of a light,
Old Queenie went a-lookin` for John that night,
She found him there at the bottom of the pit,
And placed a red hot kiss on those cold blue lips!
He started breathin`!
She waited a minute and then she kissed him again,
And old John got the power of a hundred men,
Up he come a-clawin` and a-diggin` like a mole,
And said, "Come on Queenie, we`re gonna leave this hole!"
They started walkin`!

Now a roar from the crowd greeted this fine pair,
As they both walked out in that cool night air,
And up for silence went Big John`s hand,
And the Queen said, "I told you I`d get my man,
`Cause he moves me!"
You can find them today, they`re down in New Orleans,
Big Bad John and his Cajun Queen,
They`re a little bit wrinkled from the strain of time,
But their love`s just as strong as that night in the mine,
A hundred and ten grandchildren!

Now the moral of this story has a real clear omen,
Don`t you ever underestimate the power of a woman!
