Hi Roger, mon ami. This song, by Red Sticks Ramblers, is from Gérard Dôle.

Belle,
Ton ’tit bec est doux,
Comme le doux d’un le miel.
Belle,
T’as des yeux d’gougou,
Un ’tit nez d’armadelle
Belle, t’as des cheveux fous
Comme des flammes du soleil.
Belle.

Belle,
T’as venu dans mon vieux ciel
Comme un grand arc-en-ciel.
Belle,
T‘as mis un tas des étoiles
Comme dans la nuit de Noël.
Belle.
Tu m’as ouvert ton cœur
Comme le héron ses ailes.
Belle.

Repeat verse 1

The verse 1 is on the Gérard Dole's website : http://gerarddole.free.fr/menu-pages/francadian-songs.html
I don't know the cajun words "gougou" and "armadelle". Somebody knows these words ?

Marc.

On L'Anse Grise Forum, Neal and Dowell answers me : "Gougou" is maybe a gudgeon and "Armadelle" is an armadillo. Very curious !!

Marc.

you rock! thanks for the lyrics....love this song, so/.....french?

Yes Roger, I received your file "La vie d'un vieux vacher". I like this minimalist version with two fiddles, like Balfa Bros. Is it you alone on fiddle ?
For me, if the accordion is the king of cajun band, the fiddle is the king of cajun music.
