Yes Ian, but which version ?

Marc

i have a version by 'Filé' also another by 'Savoy-Doucet' - they both sound very different

Here are both versions : "Talle de ronces" or "Talle d'éronces"

SAVOY-DOUCET's version
Hey bébé, ça c'est dur à croire,
Ton pap et ta mam m'ont jeté en dehors de la maison.
Oh, yaille, si tu voudrais t'en revenir,
Tu devrais, ouais, viendre me rejoindre avant de mourir.

Oh bébé, moi j'connais, j'ai puni,
Oh, yaille, ouaios, des flammes d'enfer.
Oh, 'tit monde, si tu voudrais, t'en revenir,
Tu devrais, mais ouais, viendre me rejoindre avant de mourir.

FILE's version
Hey, 'tite fille, ta maman m'a tout le temps dit
Que t'es trop jeune pour venir aller jouer
A la talle d'éronces

Hey, 'tite fille,moi je voudrais tu viens quand même,
Viens me rejoindre bébé,
En arrière la talle d'éronces.

Marc.

Here's another one to chew on:

La Talle de Ronce (The Blackberry Bushes)by the Mamou Cajun Band, Adam and Cyp Landreneau. Avail. on iTunes & Amazon. Interestingly, Cyp plays an old Hohner HA-114.

Thank you for these Marc
Ned: Yes I've heard this version, that was on Pete Seeger's Rainbow Quest YouTube clip on here? (the week Pete passed away),love it!

cheers all
Ian

Hey is this the Ian I know and love from Iangland? If so, big welcome! If not, welcome anyway!

Here's the lyrics that I use for band gigs.
Can't remember where they came from.
Also, the grammar probably sucks.
Sung to same tune as Adam & Cyprien used on Pete Seeger.
What this song has to do with a briar patch, have no clue, Brer Rabbit.
The turn on this piece can be a killer.
Fiddlers especially seem to resent this number, for some reason.

Eh, ‘tit fille, c’est la primière fois!

Oh, Yé yaille, tu m‘as dit que tu m’aimais!

Oh,‘tit monde, aujourd’hui tu’m fait comme ça!

Oh, Yé yaille, tu m‘as r'semb tu m’as quittais.

Eh, ‘tit fille, c’est la primière fois!

Oh, Yé yaille, tu m‘as dit tu veux quittais!

Oh,‘tit monde, aujourd’hui tu’m tourne l’dos!

Oh, Yé yaille, moi j’vois pas que moi j’t’ai fait

JB

It most certainly IS Monsieur Jumpsuit!

Wait until y'all find out that there is another version of this song by Aldus Roger and the Lafayette Playboys named The Wafus Two Step, aka The Waffle Two Step, aka, the Pancake Two Step. I may make this one of my pet projects once the Fall Season opens up again. Just thought I'd drop in for a sec. I haven't been reading nor posting. I'll play catch up in the fall. Right now, I working on some other worldly projects. LOL

Take all the time you need Greezy I heard folks are still resting up from reading your long winded ridiculous post the last time you were on.
