Cajun Caper

(album: Highwayman - 1979)

Well I was a working down in Bemagrove at the palace
Working off shore
The man told me that to stay at sea
I'd have to stop that fighting

And everyday at noon
Them Cajun shrimp boats would pull upside
And them pretty dark eyed ladies
Traded shrimp for my wine

So I tell the men my former life I lived in Louisiana
'Cause I like that Cajun food
And I like Cajun music
And I like Cajun girls

Well I had me a running partner
His name was Aligator John
You know he said that he used to wrestle
But he put a lot of people on

Now every day at sundown
Well me and ole John would be downtown
And all them pretty dark eyed ladies
Well they tried to smile me down

So I tell the men my former life I lived in Louisiana
'Cause I like that Cajun food
And I like Cajun music
And I like Cajun girls

Well maybe the same line
And maybe the same time
Well you know them mean ole rules
Well they get you down
I...elieyeeee...
Yeah play it Dougie

And I was down in Ensenada
I was a working off shore
And you know the man told me that to stay at sea
I'd have to stop that drinking

And everyday at noon
A Mexican shrimp boat would pull upside
Yes and them pretty dark eyed ladies
Traded shrimp for my wine

So I tell the men my former life I lived in Tijuana
But I like Mexican food
And I like Mexican music
And I like Mexican girls
I...elieyeeeee
