There's a little girl sittin'
on a Mississippi riverbank
Talkin' to a catfish she
used to know it all
Talkin' about the good times,
livin' in the bad
Talkin' about the papa
that the girl never had
Left Louisiana on a summer
sunny morning
Gonna be that little girl one more time
Cajun train, take me home again
Ain't seen the muddy river
since I don't know when
Rail ties clickin' like an old clock
Tickin' out of time to go back home
Home to me used to be a
Louisiana shantytown
Listen to the fiddle and the jukebox ring
Sing about the good times,
livin' in the bad
Louisiana love song never make you sad
Left Louisiana on a summer
Sunday evening
Gonna be that little girl one more time
Cajun tray and take me home again
Ain't seen the muddy river
since I don't know when
Rail ties clicking like an old clock ticking
And a time to go back home
Oh, I've come a long way
since my childhood river times
Livin' in the city with the
family to raise
Tellin' about the good times,
livin' in the bad
Louisiana story makes a kid feel glad
Just like a lot of folks
livin' on memories
Livin' for the times
that we'll never see again
Cajun train take me home again
Ain't seen the muddy roof
since I don't know when
Rail ties clickin' like an old clock,
takin' out of time to go back home
Cajun train, take me home again,
ain't seen the muddy river
since I don't know when
Rail ties clickin' like an old clock,
takin' out of time to go back
home
you
