Got me a cajun persuasion way back in the woods 

Got me a cajun persuasion, you know she'd do me good 

I wanna jump in my pirogue that's waitin' for me 

Got me a cajun persuasion, I wanna go see my she 



Head down South to the Mississippi River 

Follow all the highway signs 

There's a sweet little brown-eyed woman down there 

And I'm a-gonna make her mine 

I ain't gonna let a little swamp stop me 

Oh, nothin's gonna get in my way 

I wanna let that bayou swallow me up 

And listen to the fiddle play 

I'm gonna listen to the fiddle play 



Got me a cajun persuasion way back in the woods 

Got me a cajun persuasion, you know she'd do me good 

I wanna jump in my pirogue that's waitin' for me 

Got me a cajun persuasion, I wanna go see my she 



Well, she told me where her Mama and her Daddy lived 

Way South of big K, oh, if you hit Lake Charles 

You've gone too far, turn back at Evangeline 

Well, I've been all around this great big world 

But nothin' can compare 

To the cajun feel of Jimmy C and sweet Mon Chere 

Yeah, sweet, sweet Mon Chere 

Oh, sweet, sweet Mon Chere 



Got me a cajun persuasion way back in the woods 

Got me a cajun persuasion you know she'd do me good 

I wanna jump in my pirogue that's waitin' for me 

Got me a cajun persuasion, I wanna go see my she
