Johnny Cash - Cajun Born: chords

                   C
I was born on the bayou
                 F
Thirty miles of Layfayette
                G
My daddy was a cajun man
                           C
Lord he taught us how to plow
                    C
I remember mama's breakfast
                 F
Cush Cush and a Kaye
                      G
Steam syrup upon the banje
                       C
Oh, I wish I had some now

Chorus:
             G
I'm a cajun born
              C
I'm a cajun bred
        G
When I die
             C
I'm a cajun dead
              C
If I die in Alaska
              F
If I die in Ohio
                G
This soul will find its way
             C
Back to the bayou

We went to church every sunday
We had a French speaking preacher man
Joked about the preacher man
'Cause we thought he wore a dress
After church we had a party
We played the music on the phonograph
We had a man singing Jole Blan
Made a sinner out of me

Chorus

When I'm ready to be married
I'm going to be this cajun lady
Some sorta like my mamma
'Cause there ain't no other kind
No, there ain't no other kind

Wherever fortune takes me
If it makes me or it breaks me
It's memories will forsake me
Louisiana on my mind

Chorus

If I die in Alaska
If I die in Ohio
This soul will find it's way
Back to the bayou.
