lyrics

Cajun girl from Beaumont town  
Cooked the Étouffée drink the whiskey down 
She loved to dance to Ms. Barbara Lynn 
Kept a pistol in her purse had a 100 dollar grin 
Well I married her on the courthouse stand  
No wedding ring just a cigar band  
 
She's gone, gone, gone 
Yeah, Jesus called her home 
Baby's long gone 
 
Fishin' on the bayou bank 
Makin' love on the ground by the wine we drank 
Well I caught her steppin' out a couple of times 
Ain't no saint myself and I know that rhymes 
 
And she's gone, gone, gone 
Yeah, Jesus called her home 
Baby's long gone (come on) 
 
One day we just drove to Florida  
Pulled over by the law on the I-10 corridor 
Cop said darlin' you're a long way from home  
With your broke headlight and your shiny chrome 
Well them guitar pickers can't bail you out  
For $1,000 you can go on about your business 
 
She left me with a beautiful boy 
Apple of my eye and my pride and joy 
And she's gone, gone, gone 
 
Cajun girl from Beaumont town  
Cooked the Étouffée drink the whiskey down 
And she's gone, gone, gone
