Does anyone have lyrics for Le valse de crowley?

Re: lyrics

Whose song? There's more than one song with this title.
Hackberry Ramblers do a song with this title and the words go something like this:

O, chère, tu m'a pris de ma maison
Comme une pauvre orphelin
Tu m'a promis de m'soigner
de m'soigner jusqu'a le jour
De ma mort et aujourd'hui
T'es après m'quitter moi tout seule

(Sorry if I don't have the correct spelling or accent marks. I am trying to learn to write French better).

Joe Falcon does a completely different tune called Crowley Waltz, same melody as the Lafayette Playboy Waltz that Aldus Roger used to do. Maybe you can let us know whose version of Crowley Waltz you are after? Maybe it's neither Hackberry Ramblers nor Joe Falcon.

Re: lyrics

thanx
but it's not the version I want.
I'm looking for Cleoma Falcon's version?

Re: Re: lyrics

Pretty song! I hear it like that, me:

O, ma chère 'tite fille
Moi j'connais j'sus si loin d'toi, mon nègre
Ça m'faisait j'donne la peine et j'quitter
Pour venir si loin d'toi, malheureuse
Prend courage, ouais, ma chère 'tite fille
Moi j'sus apres m'en aller pour te rejoindre

J'connais q'toi, t'es bien soigner
Mais j'peux pas m'empêcher d'm'ennuyer
Moi j'sus après m'en aller de te rejoindre
Prend courage, chere 'tite fille, prend courage
Moi j'sus apres m'en aller, ouais, te rejoindre
Ça seras pas longtemps, ouais, ma chère 'tite fille

Re: lyrics

Re: Re: lyrics

I hope you enjoy playing and singing it!

Re: Re: Re: lyrics

For the record, it is "La" valse, and not "Le" valse. Valse is a feminin word.
