ELI THE CAJUN MAN
(Lyrics & music by Morgan Blanchard) Pelican Paradise Music (BMI) and Bredan-Paushe (BMI)
 Way down south in Louisian' deep in the heart of Cajun land
 Down on the bayou, lived a Cajun man.
 He had a heart as big as Texas, no one could deny
 A friendly Cajun man they called Eli.

 Eli had the strength of a bull but with kindness deep inside
 The old folks say he had that gift since he was a child.
 He'd give you the shirt off his back, if you were in need 
 But if you messed with him you had trouble with capital "T"
                                                                 
         Eli The Cajun Man
         Huntin' and fishin' in swamps of Cajun Land
         From down the bayou, everyone's friend
         Eli The Cajun Man!

 Then on one rainy day, a stranger came by
 Helped himself to a ton of fish thanks to Eli.
 Now, Eli was no fool and was wise to the strangers ways
 So he made up his mind that it was time to pay

 Eli knew the bayous, better than any man
 So he cut through the swamp and in no time at all
 Caught him with the fish in his hands.
 He said, stranger if you're hungry take only what you can eat
 But if you're just a thief, say hello to alligator teeth!!!
                                                                                                      
        Eli The Cajun Man                           
        Huntin' and fishin' in the swamps of Cajun land
        From down the bayou everyone's friend   
        Eli The Cajun Man!

Boudreaux the “Swamp Pop Man”
Loves to hunt and fish in Louisianne
And jitterbug to a Swamp Pop Band
 
He’s a son of a Cajun’s son
Paddles his pirouge like his Grandpa done
Raised on swamp pop he sure has fun
 
Now Boudreaux fell in love you know
With a Cajun Queen from Thibodaux
Way down south in Thibodaux
 
Now it’s turtle sauce piquant & deer Jambalaya
Smoked alligator, and crawfish stew
And fillet catfish from da bayou

I’ve Got Your Back
© Morgan Blanchard                                                                                   
                
Their son and daughter
Are going to war
They’re so proud of them
And what they’re fightin’ for
 
Getting rid of evil
To keep us free from attack
Don’t you worry none
They’ve Got Your Back
 
     No need to look, over your shoulder
     You can count on me that’s a fact
     Ready and I’m able
     I’m a soldier I’ve Got Your Back  
 
There’s a crowd of people
Waving flags downtown
Look all the yellow ribbons   
Can’t let our troops down
 
The soldiers leave today
The duffle bags are packed
The band starts to play
I’ve Got Your Back
 
     No need to look, over your shoulder
     You can count on me that’s a fact
     Ready and I’m able
     I’m a soldier I’ve Got Your Back  
 
(Bridge)
Sailors on a ship at sea 
Salute the flying forces
The troops keep marching on
All of them are heroes
 
Soon the smoke will drift away  
Roll out the welcome mat
Ain’t it good to know
They’ve Got Your Back
 
     No need to look, over your shoulder
     You can count on me that’s a fact
     Ready and I’m able
     I’m a soldier I’ve Got Your Back  
     I’m a soldier I’ve Got Your Back

House of Memories

© Merle Haggard
 
My house of memories, is all I own,
I live in misery, now that you're gone.
A constant reminder, of what used to be,
Is torturing me, in my house of memories.
 
My house is a prison, where memories surround me.
There's no place to hide where you're memory won't find me.
My house of memories, is all I own,
I'm all alone, in my house of memories.
 
My house is a prison, where memories surround me
There's no place to hide where you're memory won't find me.
My house of memories, is all I own,
And I'm all alone, in my house of memories
In my house of memories.

BABY DOLL                (c) Tommy McClain  Crazy Cajun Music (BMI)  
 
Oh baby doll, I sure love your smile,
I love you baby doll
And sometimes at night when I can’t sleep
I toss and turn and think of baby doll
 
Oh little girl, you and me in this big world like baby dolls
I love you so it seems, you’re always in my sweet sweet dreams
My baby doll
 
Last night I dreamed when we were young
Playin’ baby dolls was so much fun
Now we’re playin’ mom and dad
Keep on doing what you’re doing I found out lady you’ve been
Fooling, round and round and now I’m sad
 
Oh little girl, you and me in this big world like baby dolls
I love you so it seems, you’re always in my sweet sweet dreams
My baby doll
 
Oh baby doll, I sure love your smile,
I love you baby doll
And sometimes at night when I can’t sleep
I toss and turn and think of baby doll
 
Now take me back don’t kick me out
Don’t change your telephone not now
I’ve learned your style baby doll
 
Keep on doin’ what you’re doing can’t take this no more foolin’
I’ve learned your style baby doll
 
Oh baby doll, I sure love your smile,
I love you baby doll
And sometimes at night when I can’t sleep
I toss and turn and think of baby doll
 
Baby doll, little girl, baby doll, baby doll

Your Picture                                                                 By Johnnie Allan
(c) Flat Town Music
I look up and see your picture
It even seems to smile at me
And it brings back lotta mem'ries
Of a love that used to be

Sometimes I wonder when I hold you
If you can hear me call your name
Then I'll start crying like a baby
I guess I'll never be the same

(Sax Solo)

I'll tell my friends that I don't love you
And I'm glad that I am free
But deep inside my heart I know that
I'm still the fool I used to be

Your picture still stands on the table
And forever it will be
The only thing I'll ever treasure
And love throughout eternity
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Baby, you done me wrong
You have left me all alone

You'll be too late

Baby, You know I love you
Something's keeping us apart
But someday you'll come again
You'll want me back
You'll be too late

I’M A FOOL TO CARE                                                       by Joe Barry
(c) (Ted Daffan)

I’m a fool to care when you treat me this way
I know I love you but what can I do
I’m a fool to care

I’m a fool to cry when you tell me good-bye
You left me so blue when you were untrue
I’m a fool to care


I know I should laugh and call it a day
But I know I would cry if you went away


I’m a fool to care when you don’t care for me
So why I pretend, I’ll lose in the end
I’m a fool to care



I know I should laugh and call it a day
I know I would cry if you went away

I’m a fool to care when you don’t care for me
So why I pretend, I’ll lose in the end
I’m a fool to care

I Can't Sleep If I Can't sleep With You
(Floyd Brown)    (c) Flat Town Music


Last night I stayed up late and watched the sunrise
In a ford ain't it a wonderful view
Count the sheep til I cry
Count the times you said goodbye
Honey I can't sleep If I can't sleep with You (break)


There's no need to think you might remember
A love like some forgotten IOU
I've been watchin' you dawn
Every night since you 've been gone
And I can't sleep If I can't sleep with You

(Chorus)
And all all day I'm so lon-lon-lonely
And I'm wondering what I'm gonna do
You don't have to wake me
Don't wake me til it's over
Now I know I can't get over you (break)

Last night I stayed up late and I watched the sunrise
And I'll stay up tommorrow night too
Hear that early bird call
Ain't it hard when you fall
But I can't sleep if I can't sleep with you

And all all day I'm so lon-lon lonely
And I'm wondering what I'm gonna do
And all of my life I've been dreamin'
Just one sweet sweet dream
But how was I to know that dream was you (break)

Last night I stayed up late and I watched that old sunrise
And I guess I'll stay up tommorrow night too
Count the sheep til I cry
Count the times you left and said goodbye
But I can't sleep If I can't sleep with You
Honey I can't sleep If I can't sleep with You,ou,ou,ou,ou,ou,ou,ou
