Cajun Song

from Slide Don't Fret by Bryn Haworth

lyrics

Left my home in Lancashire
Couldn’t see my future there
Only joy can keep a heart from growing old.
Suitcase and guitar in hand
Went looking for a working band
Only joy can keep a heart from growing old.

Can to London young and free
Joined a band called Fleur De Lys
Only joy can keep a heart from growing old.
Put on makeup dressed in fills
Put on velvet, wore high heels
Only joy can keep a heart from growing old.

Travelled round from town to town
Saw the world from the back of a van
Up and down those motorways
Watched the nights turn into days
Playing music, having fun
Felt my life had just begun
But only joy can keep a heart from growing old.

Flew alone to the USA
Didn’t know how long I’d stay.
Only joy can keep a heart from growing old.
Felt so good to be so free
Had no past, no history
Only joy can keep a heart from growing old.

Got arrested put in jail
Still don’t know who stood my bail
Took some drugs, nearly died
Living like hell in paradise
Then one night I had this dream
Childhood memories haunting me
Only joy can keep a heart from growing old.

Went back to England with my pal
Married a girl whose name was Sal
She knows joy will keep her heart from growing old
Wrote some songs, lived in Wales
Followed on that hippie trail
Only joy can keep a heart from growing old.

Then one day we took a drive
Saw a tent and went inside
Angels laughed and people cried
Loud as heaven on a Saturday night.
God my Saviour got my wife, got my name in the book of life
Only joy can keep a heart from growing old.
