Hi everyone,
This is a little uptempo blues number I've been working on. I've been tweaking these lyrics, getting ready to record the song. Any comments welcome, thanks.

That lady made me sing the blues (c) Rick Goggin 2002
V1
Well I met her in N'awleans.
She's a blue eyed Cajun queen.
I was doin some hard drinkin at the time.
Well she sached through the door,
and my jaw'd about hit the floor.
And I knew somehow, some way, I'd make her mine.
V2
Well we danced all through the night.
And she clung to me real tight.
So I took her home and we made love till dawn.
It was just like in a dream.
I'd found my love, it seemed.
But when I woke up that cajun girl was gone.
Ch1
She had long black hair and eyes so blue,
her ruby red lips'll make a man out of you.
If you'd a kissed her, you'd a loved her too.
That's why I search all night and day,
for that Cajun girl that slipped away.
Oh man, that lady made me sing the blues.
V3
Well I never seen her again,
and I ain't had a drink since then.
I got tired of wearing out my shoes.
Finally I'd a settled down,
with the cutest little girl from my home town.
She don't know, she ain't got no clue.
Ch2
She got long black hair and eyes so blue,
her ruby red lips'll make a man out of you.
If you could kiss her you would love her too.
Well I be with her night and day,
and we make love in the Cajun way.
Oh man that lady make me sing the blues.
Oh yeah that lady make me sing the blues.

Only nit I have here is starting those verses with "well". This is such a filler word and can be eleiminated. Whats left is more interesting IMO. And the lyric itself is pretty solid.
Good luck with the recording.
If writing ever becomes work I think I'm going to have to stop
