C7 G7 C
Ma cheri, she has left me for good
C7 G7 C
After I gave my love for so long
G7
She's out there with somebody new
C
And I just can't sit here alone, no
C7
But it's so hard to drive with these tears in my eyes
F F#dim7 -- Adim7
And it takes a long time to get to Baton Rouge
C G7 C F
And all I want is to hear somebody play my song
A#dim7 G7 C
When a Cajun man gets the blues
G7 C
When I'm feeling the weight of the water
G7 C
Lord I know that there's blues in the Quarter
C7 G7 F
If I could hold back my tears and make it there, I'd be alright
G7
But I might need ya, New Orleans, every night
C G7 C
I don't know where I'd be without you
C7 G7 C
Yeah, you've been there for me all the while
G7
From Lafayette, to Thibodaux, to Lake Charles
C
From Natchitoches, to Shreveport, to Grand Isle
C7
When I'm feeling the pain, the bayou's callin' my name
F F#dim7 -- Adim7
And that's an offer that I can't refuse
C G7 C F
Oh,it's hard to miss you, Louisiana
Ddim7 G7 C
When a Cajun man gets the blues
C7 G7 C F
Yes it's hard to miss you, Louisiana
A#dim7 G7 C
When this Cajun man gets the blues
