Lyrics:

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
