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` breeze 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
