I'm looking for the lyrics to Lawtell Two-Step. I listened to a version on
U-tube of Ellis Vanicor and the Lacasinne Playboys and could hear it fairly close but got spots that are very suspect.

I heard Wilson Touchet play and sing this tune at a jam session last saturday and sort a fell in love with the song.

Ellis Vanicor from YouTube.

I'm sure most of the spelling is wrong but here you go.

Hey malheuruse garde donc mais toi t’as faire
Oh chere bebe t’apres m’quitter pour t’en aller
Oh chere mignon comment mais moi j’va faire
Oh chere bebe t’apres m’quitter dan les misère

Toi jolie tit fille j’mennui de toi tout l’temp
Oh malheureuse vien ton donc a la maison
Oh chere tit monde, commen mais moi j’va faire?
Oh malheureuse tit ma quitter dan les misere

Thanks Josh - can you tell me what "j’mennui" means?

'je m'ennui de toi'
it means I get lonely for you. just like in 'un autre soir ennuyant' or 'la valse d'ennui'

-jordy

Correct Jordy
j'mennui = I'm lonely

It must be related to "our" English word .. ennui.

Hey Tom - I be passing by your part of the world and plan to be at your gig
on the union terrace on Thursday night. Let me know if you want me to sing
the rolling pin with your guys and I'll get up there and grab a mic. I worked on that one with Lester Gauthier in Lafayette.
