Cajun Kiss
You are the food I crave
Delicious and so soulful
I crumble at your turquoise touch
Giving green sighs of delight
Inspiring intoxicating Cajun kisses
So hot and spicy uniting hearts
Do you feel my love true blue
Casting like fishing pole
Hoping to catch only you
And then cruise in your passion
Feet never touching the ground
For you send me sailing
And at

Cajun Queen, New Orleans
Riverboat on the Mississippi
Folks dining on scrimp, grits, and cornbread
Drinking booze and gambling like crazy
Going to Bourbon Street just ahead
Down in that Cajun Queen, New Orleans
The big paddle wheel keeps on rolling
Down to the Cajun Queen of the Gulf
Where the real money is unfolding
And a thousand green bucks is small stuff
Down in that Cajun Queen,

Swamp
As I watch the rain coming down in measured bursts onto the dark waters of the vast bayou.
My mind notes the watery circles and bubbles that trace alligators asleep in the slough.
I check my lines as the sun goes down. The wind fights me at every turn, causing my boat to rock.
I've got three dead

Cajun Creed Will Get Revenge
I've been doin' time, sittin in this jail cell for too long.
Yea, I made mistakes because I was headstrong
when I killed Isabelle, but it's what she deserved.
She ran off with my coke and money. That was wrong.
I want outta prison. Enough years have been served.
She was sent to New Orleans just to shut me down.

Cajun Lady
They rolled like a mountain,
out of New York city.
I heard Cajun Lady,
from The Fat'sby
Twas back in the day,
Nineteen- Seventy.
You know she was a lover,
His Mississippi Queen.
I heard Cajun Lady,
With the Fat'sby on Lead.

My Cajun Backyard Nest
When it rains
the grass grows greener
and thick like a forest of trees
in my back yard
Mr. Bojangles, the housecat
slowly stalks its prey
of wizard-like lizards scattering away.
With nothing but the sounds of
crickets and cicadas
heard humming now and then
as the sun begins to settle down
here in my hometown again.
Cajun land with bayou bands
alligators and crawfish

Mississippi Masala
Hair as long as the Mississippi River,
Eyes as dark as a bayou on a moonless night,
kiss as sweet as a honeysuckle flower,
and as dangerous as a rattlesnake bite.
She's a southern sinful delight.
Baptized by fire,
she ain't like any other,
her kind of lovin'
makes the devil run for cover.
Dancing in the fire

The Pierced Nothing
Her skin is textured fabric
and a lovely pair of…odd eyes of ink
black and sheen green.
Cherry cheeks, heavy-handed
for his amusement.
Lips sewn to silence
just the way he likes her.
Living only through him
though she’s not alive.
Criminals steal hearts as well
at her lovely, warped sight.
Her face overcome with raw
beauty and unrequited longing…sometimes
with every tick-tock of his

Cajun King
I was born from infernal hell
I'm the Cajun King
I was born from infernal hell
A land full of life and festivity
Bring me to your Mississippi Queen
She holds justice in the palm of her hands
Wielding her attomica taking no ****
Her blue eyes vicious and cold, never dull
Courtship in the swamp, drinking white lightning
Fireflies light up the night
Nature

Cajun Pride
Cajun Pride
Remembering an autumn day
Floating down the river
Where all his tensions flow away
And the days just become a blur
The current is always so mellow
And the shore is beauty beyond compare
Lined by age old weeping willows
It is the answer to a river boy’s prayer
The bayou is a special place
Full of stories old
Told slowly and never apace
They

Swamp Cajun Curse
Down in Louisiana,
down in da bayou deep
Where sweaty bodies hear da swamp sounds
in da hot, steamy heat
Local people know Mamadou Sekkou
Medicine woman
born on da banks of da bayou

Big bosomed woman
with black and silver wavy waterfalls
flowing down her back

Make your weak man strong,

Cajun Santa's Promise
Cajun Santa was a skinny little man
He could hide in the shadow of a soda pop can
I asked Cajun Santa do you have a magic power
He said, I can fly around the world in less than an hour
He said I’ve got to be fast in and out quick
I get a little competition from Ol St.

Here’s a little story bout Cajun santa
He lives in the swamp in Louisiana
You can be naughty or you can be nice

He’s not like the santa from the cold North Pole
You will never get a stocking with a lump of coal
