When a Cajun Man Gets the Blues - Tab Benoit

Ma chérie, she has left me for good,

After I gave my love for so long.

She’s out there with somebody new,

And I just can’t sit here alone, no.

But it’s so hard to drive with these tears in my eyes,

And it takes a long time to get to Baton Rouge.

And all I want is to hear somebody play my song,

Lord when a Cajun man gets the blues.

When I’m feeling the weight of the water

Lord I know that there’s blues in the Quarter

If I could hold back my tears and make it there, I’d be alright

But I might need you, New Orleans, every night

And I don’t know where I’d be without you

Yeah you’ve been there for me all the while

From Lafayette, to Thibodaux to Lake Charles

And from Cocodrie to Shreveport to Grand Isle.

Now when I’m feeling the pain, the bayou’s calling my name

And that’s an offer I can’t refuse

Oh it’s hard to miss you, Louisiana

When a Cajun man gets the blues

Yes it’s hard to miss you, Louisiana

When this Cajun man got the blues.

End.
