The Cajun Queen

She kinda breezed into town from New Orleans

And said, "Boys, I'm Big John's Cajun Queen

I didn't come here to argue or waste anybody's time

I just come to get my man out your dirty old mine

'Cause he moves me"

Now where you give up's where old Queenie's gonna start

'Cause I got a powerful love in my heart

So you just show me that hole way down in the ground

And tell the whole wide world Big John's been found

And he is living

So down in the mine without a sign of a light

Old Queenie went looking for John that night

She found him there at the bottom of that pit

And placed a red-hot kiss on his cold blue lips

And the boy started breathing

She waited a minute and then she kissed him again

And old John got the power of a hundred men

And up he came a-clawing and a-digging like a mole

And said, "Come on Queenie, we're gonna leave this hole"

And they started walking

Now a roar from the crowd greeted this fine pair

As they both walked out in that cool night air

And up for silence went Big John's hand

And Queenie said, "I told you I'd get my man, ah

'Cause he moves me"

You can find them today, they're down in New Orleans

Big bad John and his Cajun Queen

Oh, they're a little bit wrinkled from the strain of time

But their love's just as strong as that night in that mine

A hundred and ten grandchildren

Now the moral of this story has a very clear omen

Don't you ever underestimate the power of a woman
