Lyric Dark Eyed Cajun Woman

Tom Johnston

I think back to the time
When I first saw your face
You were walkin across the delta
To your cold and lonely place
You know, I took you for a small girl
Really not quite seventeen
Oh, Lord, but I was wrong, oh so wrong
You re like a woman I ve never seen Dark eyed Cajun woman
Where are you comin from
Your soul is in the back woods
They say you never had a home
But I m gonna know you better
If it takes all night and day
Dark eyed Cajun woman
You ll never get away, no, no

Now the evenin is blowin
I hear your voice most everywhere
Your cold, black eyes
They are dancin in the starlight
Warmin the cold night air
It s so beautiful, you know I have to say
Dark eyed Cajun woman
You ll never get away
