Looks like its the Rufus Jagneaux version that I might be looking for. Thanks to Gary for Queen Ida's version. The words Leon sent is an english translation of the french version and doesn't sing right in english.

The Back Door is a simple song but somewhat different from others in that it has a tune part only (no turn) and the tune part is 12 measures long (instead of most 2 steps being in groups of 8 measures).

We don't do it much anymore but up here in the North it never hurts to have english lyrics in songs so we are revisiting this one hoping to get some good english lyrics.

I've taken my accordions (both the Cajun box and a piano-key) to blues jams. One of the tunes I usually suggest to the blues-types to play is The Back Door because it is a straight 12-bar blues tune (I play it in G on my C Cajun box) and the blues folks don't have any problems playing it.

D.L. Menard said he took it from Hank Williams' Honky Tonk Blues. Link above to the English lyrics.

i think if you play it right,
there is a 2-extra-beat section between
the a and b parts..

wle.
