Re: Cajun from Church Point

Unfortunately neither of these lyrics are correct according to the original recording by Dallas Roy.

Found these transcriptions posted by Marc and by Neal a while back:


Cadien de Church Point
-------------------------------
From Marc:

Moi j’suis content d’être un cajun d’grand Church Point,
Ici, tout va comme ça vient,
Ça marche au village les sam’di matin,
Et l’amour c’est le plus grand sentiment.

Moi j’suis content d’être un cajun d’grand Basile,
Ici, tout l’monde boit d’la bière,
Ça marche au village les sam’di matin,
Et l’amour c’est le plus grand sentiment.

(Grand Eunice, Grand Mamou, etc ……)

--------------------------------------
From NEAL:

Et moi j'sus content d'être un 'Cadien de Church Point
Ayou tout l'monde ouais s'amuse
Ça mange au village les samedi matins
Et l'amour, c'est leur plus grand agrément

Et moi j'sus content d'être un 'Cadien de grand Church Point
Ayou tout l'monde ça boire d'la bière
Ça fait des boucheries tout les hivers
Et l'amour, c'est leur plus grand "thrill" de tout

One verse says love is their greatest pleasure, another says it's their biggest thrill of all (like in the original Okie from Muscogee).
-------------------------------

Merle Haggard;
OKIE FROM MUSKOGEE

We don’t smoke marihuana in Muskogee
We don’t take our trips on LSD
We don’t burn our draft cards down on Main Street
‘Cause we like living right and being free

We don’t make a party out of loving
But we like holding hands and pitching woo
We don’t let our hair grow long and shaggy
Like the hippies out in San Francisco do

And I’m proud to be an Okie from Muskogee
A place were even squares can have a ball
We still wave Old Glory down at the courthouse
White lightning still the biggest thrill of all

Leather boots are still in style for manly footwear
Beads and Roman sandals won’t be seen
And football’s still the roughest thing on campus
And the kids they still respect the College Dean

Ch+ White lightning still the biggest thrill of all, In Muskogee Oklahoma USA

Re: Cajun from Church Point

Dallas Roy, he's must be from Texas, Cajuns say they got two moons there, so when both are full they must be getting quite looney there.
