Bon travail Jon. Congratulation.

Marc.

Marc, I see the 1st set of lyrics I put up were filled with punctuation errors and such. So i deleted them and added a link to a better version of the song. Unfortunately I couldn't cut and past the lyrics so the only way to read them is to go directly to the site. http://www.songlyrics.com/zachary-richard/travailler-c-est-trop-dur-lyrics/

Hi Jon,
I have 3 versions by Zachary with different lyrics
Album "Mardi Gras" : maybe the original
Album "Looking BAck" : version live
CD "Cap Enrage" : version 1996.
Feufollet sing this last version.

Marc.

Jon, thanks a lot. For some reason I couldn't copy from your link, but I could from this one.

" Travailler c’est trop dur" is the Cajun song the most known in France. In 1975 or 76 it was an enormous success. With Zachary Richard, Beausoleil and Balfa Brothers, it was the beginning of the revival of the Cajun music in France, on returning to the USA, in Europe and in the World.
Excuse my bad English

Thanks to both Jon and Marc for the info. I thought this was a somewhat obscure song, but not so...I've found several interesting versions, including Julien Clerc, Polo Hofer, Michael von der Heide...and Marc and the Boiled Crawfish from Sweden! World Music, indeed!
