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 anbody's time
I just come to get my man
From your dirty old mine

Cause he moves me

Now where you give ups

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 living


So down in the mine
Without a sign of a light

Old Queenie went a-looking
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 breathing


She waited a minute
And then she kissed him again
And old John got the power

Of a hundred men

Up he come a-clawing

And a-digging like a mole
And said, come on, Queenie
We're gonna leave this hole

They started walking

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
