It's a pleasure to have you on the show.
Thank you.
I'm real glad to be here, brother.
You know, you're no stranger to country songs
and the fans are, well, you're no stranger to fans either.
Well, thank you.
I love country music
and I love your songs and everything. _
How about a good Cajun song?
All right. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ First, Mom and Papa called her little boy Ned
Raised him on the [Bb] banks of a river [Eb] bed
A houseboat tied to a big tall tree
Home for my Papa [Bb] and my Mama [Eb] and me
Yeah, the clock strikes three, Papa jumped to his feet
He's already cooking [Bb] for us up in [Eb] Dewey
And half-past Papa, he's ready to go
He jumps in the bureau [Bb] headed [Eb] down the bayou
[Ab] He's got fish and iron strong across the Louisiana River
Gotta catch a big [Bbm] fish for us [Ab] to eat
Setting traps in the swamps, catching everything he can
Gotta make a living, [Bbm] he's a [Ab] Louisiana man
Gotta make a living, [Eb] he's a [Ab] Louisiana man
[Eb]
And here he is, the wild Cajun, the Kershaw
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _
_ [Eb] Yes, [Ab] I've been away long enough from Harlem, come to town
That's what came up on the [Eb] case, it's [Ab] first in town
I was thinking that I could go
He'd even let me [Eb] see a [Ab] cowboy show when I saw [Eb] the cow
_ First time then, oh my Papa, [Bb] I'd [Eb] go again
But Papa said, son, we've got lives to run
This comes back again, [Bb] first respect will [Eb] be done
He's got [Ab] fish and iron strong across the Louisiana River
Gotta catch a big [Eb] fish for us [Ab] to eat
Setting traps in the swamps, catching anything he can
Gotta make a living, he's a Louisiana man
Gotta make a living, [Eb] he's a Louisiana [Ab] man
Gotta make a living, [Eb] he's a Louisiana [Ab] man _ _ _
_ _ _ [N] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ He's _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ got _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Ab] fish and iron strong across the Louisiana River
Gotta catch a big fish [Eb] for us to [Ab] eat
Setting traps in the swamps, catching anything he can
Gotta make a living, he's a Louisiana man
Gotta make a living, [Eb] he's a Louisiana [Ab] man
Gotta make a living, he's [Eb] a Louisiana [Ab] man _
