Bonheur tout les matin
J'peux voir mon vieux pèpére
Parti a la pêche
Sur la mer
Dessus l'Bayou Lafourche
On vas tout les dimanches
A l'église d'sus l'bon Dieu
Pour prier

Y en a pas qu'est si riche
Y en a pas qu'est si pauvre
Juste des bon Acadiens après faire une vie
Moi j'm'en vas, chère cherie
Un de ses jours
Sur les côtes de beaux Bayou Lafourche

Can't quite make out this line:
A l'église d'sus l'bon Dieu
Pour prier

To me it would be better to say A l'église devant l'bon Dieu (In church before God, rather than below God).

Pepere is an affectionate term for grandfather.

That's my take on it!
