THE CAJUN QUEEN ~ Jimmy Dean (1962) Chords

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Bb] _ [Abm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ She kind of breezed into town [Eb] from New Orleans [Abm] and said, boys, I'm Big John's Cajun Wave.
I didn't come here to argue [Eb] or waste anybody's time.
I [Abm] just come to get my [Eb] man from your dirty [B] old mind, [Eb] _ because he moves me.
[Abm] _ _ _ _ _ Now where you give up for old Queenie is going to [G] start, because [Abm] I've got a [Eb] powerful love
in my heart, [Abm] so just show me the whole way down in the ground, tell the whole wide world
[Bb] Big John's been [Eb] found, _ and he's living.
[Abm] _
_ _ _ [Ebm] _ _ So down in the mines without a sign of a light, old Queenie went looking for John that night.
She found him there at the bottom of the pit and placed a red hot kiss on his cold blue [Eb] lips.
He started breathing.
_ [Abm] _ _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ [Am] _ _ _
_ _ She waited a minute, and then she kissed him again, and old John got the power of a hundred men.
Up he come a [Em]-clawing and a-digging like a mole, said, come on, Queenie, we're going
to leave this hole.
[E] They started walking.
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _
[Am] _ Now a roar from the crowd greeted this fine pair as they both walked out in that [E] cool night [Am] air.
And up for silence went Big John's hand, and the Queen said, I told you I'd [E] get my man,
_ _ because he _ [C] moves me. _ _ _ _ _
You can find them today, they're down in New Orleans, [A] Big Bad John and [Am] his Cajun Queen.
They're a little bit wrinkled from the strain of time, but their love's just as strong as
that night [E] in the mines.
_ A hundred and [A] ten grandchildren.
_ _ [Am] _ _ _ _
[Bb] Now the moral of this [Ab] story has a real [G] clear omen. _
_ Don't you ever [Bb] underestimate the [F] power of a [Bb] woman.
