lyrics

If Adam and Eve were Cajun
H. Newman and M. Loudermilk

Down in bayou country, deep in Cajun land
We know how to live the good life and we live it the best we can
Love to dance to the music, red hot Zydeco
We gather down on the levee for a Rockin fais do do

If Adam and Eve were Cajun all the sin in the world would be gone
Cause for heavens sake they would have ate that snake
And left the apple alone

Crawfish boil and gumbo big jug of homemade wine
Dirty rice and hot boudin
Sounds like party time
Community and communion they go hand in hand
Down in gods country, talkin’ ‘bout louisiane

If Adam and Eve were Cajun all the sin in the world would be gone
Cause for heavens sake they would have ate that snake
And left the apple alone

Hi-De-Ho, here we go
From Baton Rouge down to Thibadeaux
On through Morgan City clear up to Carencro
If you’re looking for the Garden of Eden
Open your eyes and you’ll see
The land of milk and honey
Right here for you and me

If Adam and Eve were Cajun all the sin in the world would be gone
Cause for heavens sake they would have ate that snake
And left the apple alone
