lyrics to Grand Prairie Waltz

Hey Braves,

Can I get some help with the lyrics to Grand Prairie Waltz? I looked online and can't find them.
I was listening to a recording with Mitch Reed with the Mamou? band.

Nice waltz that I've always liked.

Grand Prairie Waltz, version by Mamou Prairie Band

J’ai d’mandé à ton papa,
J’ai d’mandé à ta moman, mais pour t’avoir,
Ils m’ont dit tu peux la prendre,
Si tu promets d’l’amener (z)à Grande Prairie.
Aujourd’hui la vie est belle,
Si contents mais nous tous seuls à la maison,
Tout l’amour j’ai pour toi,
Chère bébé moi j’connais (z)à Grande Prairie.

Aujourd’hui on est séparés,
A la faute à ton papa et ta moman,
Les conseils t’as écouté,
Chère bébé, moi j’connais sont des menteries.
Aujourd’hui mais moi j’suis là,
Moi tout seul, chère catin, (z)après brailler,
Un jour chaque chose, chère bébé,
J’aimerais connaître, chère ‘tit monde, ayou toi t’es.

Marc.

Kirk,

Search this forum. They were posted not that long ago I believe. They actually posted the version you're looking for if my memory serves me well

In case anybody wants to hear the hit originally done by Joe Bonsall it's on his Swallow cd.
