There are lots of versions. Some of them are: Joe Falcon (Cajun Hot Sauce and Joe Falcon W/the Silver Bell Band; Beausoleil (Dit Beausoleil - great version!); Lawrence Walker (A Legend at Last and Floyd's Early Cajun Singles); Amade Ardoin (Amade Ardoin 1928-1938 and I'm Never Coming Back); Marc Savoy (Cajun Social Music) Jambalaya (Instrumental Collection); Kevin Naquin (Pour La Premiere Fois); T-Mamou (Cajun and Creole Jam); Bruce Daigrepont (Paradis); and Bone Tones (Cajun Dance Tonight)

I'm sure that there are more, but that list comes from Nancy Weston's book "Cajun Song Index." This is a great index, even if not particularly up-to-date. It can answer a lot of questions about who did what.
