Lyrics
Yes I'm a Cajun Man, I'm doing all that I can
I'm six foot four and you know that I was born on the bayou
But I'm a straight shootin' man and I'm doin' all that I can
Every night there's somethin' new to find
Yesterday I was on the town seein' people I know
The bar room gal looked mighty swell
Sittin' there all alone
I'll show her one time tonight yes I know I will
Or shoot some pool with some fool
I'm sure I'll get my fill
(Chorus)
While me and the boys were a gamblin'
All at once the brawl did start
Over a blue eyed honey in a red dress
The one after my heart
The policeman caught us a gamblin' and a fightin' for her side
Now I wonder what a travellin' man like me's doin' sittin' in jail
(Chorus)
