[Verse 1]
From a [D]town
in Louisi[C]ana on the wrong [G]side of [Bb]the tracks,
came a [D]rowdy Ragin [C]Cajun by
[G]the name [Bb]of Ru[C]pernac,
He was [D]harder than a [C]hickory long
and [G]thinner than [Bb]a rail,
He was [D]faster than a Cop[C]perhead
and he [G]werent afraid of hell,
[Bb]He t[C]urne[D]d 18 in the Pari[C]sh
courthouse [G]fa cin 10 to [Bb]life,
[D]about some alterca[C]tion in
a beer [G]joint with [Bb]a knife,
[C]He said [D]judge I mean your hon[C]or
[D]I hop[G]e you'll understand,
[Bb]but if it happ[D]ened here today I
think I'd do it all again,
cause you don't [G]get up in my face,
you don't call my [F]mama [G]names,
[D]you don't whistle in my kitchen,
you dont pull my big dogs chain,
[Am]I don't mean[G] no disrespect but I been stubborn[F],
[G]all [D]my life

[Verse 2]
[G][Bb]
He'd [D]been two years [C]in prison when
[G]his cousin Jay came [Bb]down,
said his [D]sister was in [C]trouble in
some [G]far off Northern [Bb]town,[C]
[D]He broke out [C]of jail that night
[G]and left a note behind,
[Bb]I'll see ya'll[D] in a we[C]ek or so,
till [G]then I'm hard [Bb]to find,
[C]He fou[D]nd her in a tavern[C] up
[G]in westside Buf[Bb]falo,
Gave [D]her a one way [C]ticket home
and [G]pushed her out [Bb]the door,
[C]Said I'm [D]lookin for [C]the man
who done my [G]little sister [Bb]harm,
he's [D]a soul destroying punk that stuck
a needle in her arm,
and some [G]pimp back in the corner,
started makin himself small,
[D]but he grabbed him by the collar
and he pushed [C]him to the wall,
[D]He [Am]said you[G] try to run away, you gone regre[F]t it, all your lif[D]e,

[D]The Cajun started [C]laughin when
[G]the pimp pulled out [Bb]a knife,
He said [D]I oughtta kill y[C]a,
but I'm [G]gonna spare your [Bb]life,
[C]With one[D] sledgehammer fis[C]t he
knocked [G]him sprawlin on [Bb]the floor,
and then he [D]kicked him in his [C]forked end,
and he [G]headed for [Bb]the door,
[C]He [D]walked on down the[C] sidewalk
and [G]hit the Southern [Bb]trail,
He went [D]back to Louisi[C]ana
and [G]he walked into [Bb]the jail,
[C]He said I h[D]ad some[C] business
up [G]above the bunkie [Bb]line,
but my [D]debts have all been settled
and I've come to do my time,
and I [F]hope I [G]didnt cause no trouble,
I wasnt tryin to run away,
[D]But a feller owed me somethin
and I had to make him pay,
[Am]Besi[G]des I'm kind of proud I been a[F]
coonass, all [D]my life
