CAJUN ACCORDION DISCUSSION GROUP
could anyone please translate the lyrics to my horse aint got no socks(Horace trahan) very much appreciated in advance.
I love this song! I play it at every gig. I heard Keith Frank's version first. He may have written it - I'm not sure. Later the Racines did a really great version. I think this is pretty close on the lyrics: He, malheureurse, ta maison est loin mo, J’après venir sur mon cheval Et mon cheval a pas d'souliers. Il a pas d'chaussons. Hey, unfortunate one, your house is far from me. I am coming on my horse And my horse has no shoes He has no socks.
Nice one. Was just playing this on my new/old hohner GC! Ganey has a great youtube video if you havn't seen it.
I think you're right on the lyrics, David, or we're both wrong.
thanx much yall
I read somewhere that this was/is an old zydeco rhythm. and that keith franks put the lyricks to it.
