Dark Eyed Cajun Woman

Doobie Brothers

I think back to the time


When I first saw your face


You were walkin' across the delta


To your cold and lonely place


You know, I took you for a small girl


Really not quite seventeen


Oh, Lord, but I was wrong, oh so wrong


You're like a woman I've never seen





Dark eyed Cajun woman


Where are you comin' from


Your soul is in the back woods


They say you never had a home


But I'm gonna know you better


If it takes all night and day


Dark eyed Cajun woman


You'll never get away, no, no





Now the evenin' is blowin'


I hear your voice most everywhere


Your cold, black eyes


They are dancin' in the starlight


Warmin' the cold night air


It's so beautiful, you know I have to say


Dark eyed Cajun woman


You'll never get away
