First recorded by Amede Breaux on the flipside of Ma Blonde Est Partie. It wouldn't be until Nathan Abshire recorded in 1949 did it contain lyrics. But it wouldn't be until Joe Bonsall's popularized it.
I take that back. Amede Breaux and Nathan Abshire may have popularized it after the war in the dancehalls, but it really wasn't until Bonsall's recording did people have easy access to listening to the song.
I've been playing this song for a long time and to this very day do not have the lyrics for "T'en a eu T'en auras plus" in my brain or song book. It was the 1st two step I ever witnessed played on accordion by an ole cat in my neighborhood. It was his signature song and he could smoke it, but never sang it! I never stopped to figure out the wording. It would be nice if someone finally posted the lyrics and the English translation hear on this very thread. Anyone? This is the version that I think sings the best if you can do it without swallowing your own tongue or having your teeth fly out on stage.
