Hello

Could anyone help me with the lyrics of "Theogene Creole" or "La chanson de Theogene Dubois" from Alligator Pursue by Beausoleil.
I'm just getting the first verse and bits and pieces from the rest.

thanks.

Prends-le ma fille c’est un vaillant garçon,
Il ne joue pas, oui, aux cartes.
Que bien souvent, que bien souvent,
Il ne joue pas son habit.

Adieu Théogène, eyou tu te sauves ?
Songez mon petite j’ai perdu mon chapeau.
Adieu Théogène, eyou tu te sauves ?
Songez, oui mon petite j’ai perdu mon chapeau.
Adieu Théogène, eyou tu te sauves ?
Songez, oui mon oncle( ?), j’ai perdu mon habit.
Adieu Théogène, eyou tu te sauves ?
Songez, oui mon oncle( ?), j’ai perdu mon habit.

Re: Theogene Dubois

Thanks Marc
you're a star!
Despite of my knowledge in french I still can't figure out what he's talking about. Is it just me? or it is a bit confused. I guess it is important to know the background of the story.
Is Theogene a bit of a gambler?

More help please! I hate to sing a song without knowing the real inside out's.

Thanks
Mique
