Cajun moon, where does your power lie As you move across the southern sky You took my babe way too soon What have you done, Cajun moon Someday babe, when you want your man And you find him gone, just like the wind Don't trouble your mind whatever you do 'Cause Cajun moon took him from you When daylight fades, the night comes on You can hear the silence of this song Don't trouble your mind whatever you do 'Cause he got me like he got you
when my daughters were little we fled Louisiana and their dad came and beat me then stole them back to Louisiana. ... i listened to this song constantly. then i got mad and got my daughters. they are grown now and i love this song it gave me power
I'm sitting here in NewOrleans listening to this song ,and reading your post thinking of ideas for a story ,you can never runaway from a Cajun Moon.🗒🖍🖌🖊🖋✒✏🗂💬👓✌
The remixed version is what I usually heard on the radio. I still like it, but this is wonderful. Love the vibraphone. The remix is... I guess I'd call it spookier. More sinister.
This song used to scare me when I was a kid. I was too young to know what it was talking about, but I could tell something was very sad about this song.
I think you might have been listening to Nicolette Larson. She normally didn't sing this kind of song but she recorded it in about 1977 right after it was written. Take a listen...it's on TH-cam
I'll never forget the first time I heard this song. I was driving from LaPlace to New Orleans, it was late at night, and there was a full moon gleaming through the mist. It was like driving in a dream. Anyone that's driven through Louisiana bayou country late a night knows what I'm talking about. This is a haunting, eerie, beautiful song.
I too had a similar experience: Driving from I-10 going north toward a little town called Oakdale, LA. It was about 1:30 a.m.. It was a strange spookie feeling, the fog was patchy but heavy in places and a full moon glowed dimly in the sky overhead. It was black dark and weird. I agree jazzman210 it was huanting. That was in the early 90s.
16 when I fell for this song I'm 46 now it had a different meaning at 16 and different at 46, i wouldn't have thought it was a cover.
what a track!!!! love from ger
Non la faranno entrare in italia perché qui abbiamo Vasco Rossi e gigi d'Alessio
my mother did this song and performed the flue along with it in karaoke
Crawford recorded several versions of the song but I like this one best. It's also the one most played on jazz radio stations.
Cajun moon should be a Louisiana season to put a, hot spice on some shrimp and pepper 🥩 steak
