The Happy Cajun - Jimmy C. Newman

I'm only human, human Maybe I'm foolish Maybe I'm blind Thinking I can see through this And see what's behind Got no way to prove it So maybe I'm blind But I'm only human after all I'm only human after all Don't put your blame on me Don't put your blame on me Take a look in the mirror And what do you see Do you see it clearer Or are you deceived In what you believe 'Cause I'm only human after all You're only human after all Don't put the blame on me Don't put your blame on me Some people got the real problems Some people out of luck Some people think I can solve them Lord heavens above I'm only human after all I'm only human after all Don't put the blame on me Don't put the blame on me I'm only human after all Don't put the blame on me Don't put the blame on me Don't ask my opinion Don't ask me to lie Then beg for forgiveness For making you cry Making you cry 'Cause I'm only human after all I'm only human after all Don't put your blame on me Don't put the blame on me Oh, some people got the real problems Some people out of luck Some people think I can solve them Lord heavens above I'm only human after all I'm only human after all Don't put the blame on me Don't put the blame on me I'm only human I make mistakes I'm only human That's all it takes To put the blame on me Don't put the blame on me I'm no prophet or Messiah Should go looking somewhere higher I'm only human after all I'm only human after all Don't put the blame on me Don't put the blame on me I'm only human I do what I can I'm just a man I do what I can Don't put the blame on me Don't put your blame on me

I think back to the time When I first saw your face You were walkin' across the delta To your cold and lonely place You know, I took you for a small girl Really not quite seventeen Oh, Lord, but I was wrong, oh, so wrong You're like a woman I've never seen Dark eyed Cajun woman Where are you comin' from Your soul is in the back woods They say you never had a home But I'm gonna know you better If it takes all night and day Dark eyed Cajun woman You'll never get away, no, no Now the evenin' breeze is blowin' I hear your voice most everywhere Your cold black eyes, they are dancin' in the starlight Warmin' the cold night air It's so beautiful, you know I have to say Dark eyed Cajun woman You'll never get away Now the evenin' breeze is blowin' I hear your voice most everywhere Your cold black eyes, they are dancin' in the starlight Warmin' the cold night air It's so beautiful, you know I gotta say Dark eyed Cajun woman Well, you'll never get away

I was a silent partner I found Myself with the rabble that stood on a mound Hipshot thinking but not out loud There are too many prophets here On the upper side of the sound of the dark I took it in silence I took it to heart I carried it quietly over the wall There were too many prophets there I was behind it One by one by one by one One by one by one by one Strike on Zero Strike on Zero One by one by one by one One by one by one by one I was a silent partner for once And I was split into two sections Here is my heart and here is my song There are too many prophets here I am divided One by one by one by one One by one by one by one Strike on Zero Strike on Zero I was the silent partner I know The part of the forest where you shouldn't go Now out of the woods and out in the day I see there's too many prophets here One by one by one by one Strike on zero One by one by one by one Strike on zero One by one by one by one Strike on zero One by one by one by one Strike on zero One by one by one by one

On the table The deal that kept the courts at arm's length Stealing our thoughts with the force of their non sequiturs Amateurs On the table The view behind the legs of dancers Windows of chance there, lost on the trail of dissent Innocent Do re mi, innocent On the table The deal between the thieves and exits Common and breathless, shrugging at what they've become Number one On the table The steal that kept the courts at arm's length Stealing our hearts with the force of the new evidence Innocent Do re mi, innocent Ah-ah-ah-ah Ah-ah-ah-ah Now the plain blondes are playing along with you Now the plain blondes are playing along with you With you On the table Our hopes become a starting pistol Though we have missed all the minutes, we know what we've won Are we done? On the table The deal between the legs of mankind Walking a straight line, copping a plea as they went Innocent Do re mi, innocent Ah-ah-ah-ah Ah-ah-ah-ah Now the plain blondes are playing along with you Now the plain blondes are playing along with you On the table On the table On the table On the table
