Cajun Woman Ukulele

(ver. 1)
Fairport Convention
C    
The baby that the preacher gave you in the Spring

Spent the winter with his finger in the undertaker's ring


F                                              C
Oh Cajun woman, some people still call you a queen
           G                        F                              C      G
I don't believe you're sinking but look at all the trouble you've been


C
He grew up in the bayou with a bible 'round his neck

He never loved a woman the way you would expect


F                                              C
Oh Cajun woman, some people still call you a queen
           G                        F                              C      G
I don't believe you're sinking but look at all the trouble you've been


C
Don't tell him 'bout his Father, don't tell him 'bout his name

The Gods won't get to Heaven if you crucify his brain



F                                              C
Oh Cajun woman, some people still call you a queen
           G                        F                              C      G
I don't believe you're sinking but look at all the trouble you've been


C
Well it's welcome to the graveyard and welcome to the throne

Welcome to the orphanage where your family sit and moan
F
Welcome to the liquor store and welcome to the poor
      C
Your momma never told you how lucky you are



F                                              C
Oh Cajun woman, some people still call you a queen
           G                        F                              C      G
I don't believe you're sinking but look at all the trouble you've been





Great song from Fairport Convention's Unhalfbricking album. Written by Richard 
Thomson and lead vocals by Sandy Denny backed by everyone else except for Iain 
Matthews who was unfortunately kicked out of the band during this album's recording.
