(VERSE 1)
I may be a rich man’s daughter
And have servants of my own.
I can snap my fingers,
And I could have anything I want.
Sometimes I look out my window,
See lovers, hand-in-hand, walk by.

They see the diamonds I wear
But not the tears of envy in my eye.

(CHORUS)

Oh, when will the good apples fall on my side of the fence?

When will I taste the sweet fruits of life?

When will the sun smile for me, through great cloudy skies above?
When will I find my true, true love?

(VERSE 2)
Well, my daddy says, “Don’t worry,”
And my daddy says, “Just wait.
I’m going to find you a rich man’s son,
And bring him to our gate.”
Sometimes I look out my window,
See lovers, hand-in-hand, walk by.

Daddy doesn’t know it:
There are some things that money just can’t buy.

(Repeat CHORUS)

When will I find my true, true love?
When will I find my true, true love?
When will I find my true, true love?

(Repeat and fade)

#1.
It’s a lesson too late for the learnin’..
made of sand, made of sand.
In the wink of an eye my soul is turnin’..
in your hand, in your hand.

CHORUS:
Are you goin’ away with no word of farewell?
Will there be not a trace left behind?
I could have loved you better, didn’t mean to be unkind..
oh, you know that was the last thing on my mind.

#2.
You had reasons a-plenty for goin’..
this I know, this I know.
And the weeds have been steadily growin’..
Please don’t go, please don’t go.

CHORUS:
Are you goin’ away with no word of farewell?

#3.
As I lie in my bed in the mornin’..
without you, without you.
Every song in my heart dies a-bornin’..
without you, without you.

CHORUS:
Are you goin’ away with no word of farewell?
Will there be not a trace left behind?
I could have loved you better, didn’t mean to be unkind..
oh, you know that was the last thing on my mind.

They locked up my darlin’ in Allentown Jail,
Ohhh..whoaaa, oooh.
And no one has come for to put up his bail,
Ohhh..whoaaa, oooh.

They say at the court house he’ll never go free,

#1.
Say goodbye, my own true lover, as we sing a
lover’s song.
How it breaks my heart to leave you…
now the carnival is gone.

#2.
High above, the dawn is waking, and my
tears are falling rain.
For the carnival is over..we may never meet again.

CHORUS:
Like a drum my heart was beating,
and your kiss was sweet as wine.
But the joys of love are fleeting,
for Pierrot and Col..um..bine.

#3.
Now the harbour light is calling..this will be
our last goodbye.
Though the carnival is over….I will love you,
till I die.

INTRO:
Oh, yeah, Cajun man, do all he can,
gotta make a livin’ he’s a Louisiana man.

#1.
At birth, Mama ‘n’ Papa called their little boy Ned.
Raised him on the banks of the river bed.
A houseboat tied to a big, tall tree,
A home for my Mama and my Papa and me.
The clock strikes three, Papa jumps to his feet,
already Mama’s cookin’ Papa somethin’ to eat.
At half-past, Papa, he’s a-ready to go,
He jumps in his pirogue, headed down the bayou.

CHORUS:
He’s got a fishin’ line strung across a Louisiana river,
gotta catch a big fish for us to eat.
He sets his traps in the swamps, catches anything he can..
Gotta make a livin’ he’s a Louisiana man.
Gotta make a livin’ he’s a Louisiana man.
Oh, yeah, Cajun man, do all he can,
gotta make a livin’ he’s a Louisiana man.

#2.
They call Mama Rita and my Daddy, Jack.
The little baby brother on the floor is Mack.
Bryn and Lynn are the family twins,
Big brother Ed’s on the bayou fishin’.
On the river float Papa’s great big boat,
that’s how my Papa goes into town.
Takes every bit of the night and day
to even reach a place where the people stay.

CHORUS:
He’s got a fishin’ line strung across a Louisiana river,
gotta catch a big fish for us to eat.
He sets his traps in the swamps, catches anything he can..
Gotta make a livin’ he’s a Louisiana man.
Gotta make a livin’ he’s a Louisiana man.
#3.
I can hardly wait ‘til tomorrow comes ‘round.
That’s the day my Papa takes his furs to town.
Papa said, ‘Son, we got lines to run.’
We come back again, ‘cause there’s work to be done.’

CHORUS:
He’s got a fishin’ line strung across a Louisiana river,
gotta catch a big fish for us to eat.
He sets his traps in the swamps, catches anything he can..
Gotta make a livin’ he’s a Louisiana man.

Oh, yeah, Cajun man, do all he can,

1. There’s a new world somewhere, they call the promised land
And I’ll be there someday, if you will hold my hand
I still need you there be- side me, no matter what I do
For I know I’ll never find another you

2. There is always someone for each of us they say
And you’ll be my someone for- ever and a day
I could search the whole world over, un- til my life is through
But I know I’ll never find another you

Chorus: It’s a long, long, journey, so stay by my side.
When I walk through the storm you’ll be my guide, be my guide

3. If they gave me a fortune, my pleasure would be small
I could lose it all tomorrow, and never mind at all
But if I should lose your love, dear, I don’t know what I’d do
For I know I’ll never find a- nother you

But if I should lose your love, dear, I don’t know what I’d do
For I know I’ll never find a- nother you
Another you , another you
