P. T. - Jimmy Dean

She kinda breezed into town from New Orleans

And said, «Boys, I’m Big John’s Cajun Queen

Now I didn’t come here to argue or waste anybody’s time

I just came to get my man from your dirty old mine

'Cause he moves me»

«Now where you give up’s where old Queenie’s gonna start

'Cause I got a powerful love in my heart

So just show me the hole way down in the ground

And tell the whole wide world Big John’s been found

And he’s livin'»

So down in the mine without a sign of a light

Old Queenie went a-lookin' for John that night

She found him there at the bottom of the pit

And placed a red hot kiss on those cold blue lips

He started breathin'

She waited a minute and then she kissed him again

And old John got the power of a hundred men

Up he come a-clawin' and a-diggin' like a mole

And said, «Come on Queenie, we’re gonna leave this hole»

They started walkin'

Now a roar from the crowd greeted this fine pair

As they both walked out in that cool night air

And up for silence went Big John’s hand

And the Queen said, «I told you I’d get my man

'Cause he moves me»

You can find them today, they’re down in New Orleans

Big Bad John and his Cajun Queen

They’re a little bit wrinkled from the strain of time

But their love’s just as strong as that night in the mine

A hundred and ten grandchildren

Now the moral of this story

Has a real clear omen

Don’t you ever underestimate

The power of a woman
