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
