Lyrics
CAJUN ANGEL
By Tim Ratcliff and Ken Bailey
I'm in love with a Cajun Angel, the wind sings
her name thru the cypress trees
Tho with my love, I remain a stranger,
for she owns the world, just to do as she please
I thought she came with wings and a halo
I saw the darker side of Marie Levouix
Marie, Marie, Mon Amore!
Peu le fleur, enchante!
Bayou enchantress, Queen of the quicksand,
she led me into this forbidden land
Marie is all I think about,
some kind of charm I can't live without
Weeping willows that drape over the land
tell me I'll never be the same again
Marie, Marie, Mon Amore!
Peu le fleur, enchante!
I thought she would release me from my pain
she just dragged me into her dungeon in chains
I'm in love with a Cajun Angel
I'm in love with a Cajun Angel
