There is a good version on the Wade Fruge Cd titled "Old style Cajun music" - I don't fine the song in any of the song books

The only version I have is the Wade Frugé version with Vorrance Berzas singing. This is what I hear. No guarantees, especially on spelling. Not entirely sure about the second line in the second verse. Hope it helps.

Hé tite fille, s’en aller z’a Choupique,
C’est pour r’join mais ma jolie
Chere tite fille moi j’va jamais mais t’oublie

Hé yaille, tu m’as dit mais hier au soir,
Tu serais retourné mais avec moi
Aujourdhui c’est toi bébé qui veut pas moi

Hé yaille, t’as ecouté tout les conseils
De ton pap et ta mama,
Aujourd’hui t’es tourn le dos pour t’en aller

Merci mon chum!

mais pas d'quoi de tout.

Bryan - those lyrics sound mighty fine a moi - merci beaucoup. Say, would you happen to be the Lafleur who jams on the accordion (and fiddle) at Mitch Reed's Louisiana Heritage and Gifts on Gloria Switch Rd in Carencro?

A freind of mine was talking to Mitch Reed at Fitzgeralds in Chicago when he came thru with Beausoleiu late January. Evidently Mitch said they have to close. Thats too bad for many reasons, of which one would be the loss of a great Sat afternoon jam venue in Lafayette.

Nope, that aint me, unless you owe him some money, then it might be. I am from the Mamou area but now, unfortunately, live in northeast texas, and my jams consist of me and a howling mutt until I get home and can "force" dad to play with me. The mutt keeps better time than I do.

Well hopefully Brian, east Tejas is not that far away from home and you can get back home often, or to other places that have Cajun food, dance and music.
