Re: Lyrics to Two Step Acadien

Nah Nick I don't for a fact ... but the next time you see Jesse, you tell that tom cat superstar, to come get these dogs for what he named Boudin & Graton!

Tell him to get a pair and start being human.

I'll check this out with Jesse, as I'll be seeing him in London this weekend.

Re: Re: Lyrics to Two Step Acadien

The song Jesse sings that follows the same tune as the Acadian two-step is the special du club soixante-treize, but most people just call it the 73 special.

I don't have the lyrics for it offhand, but I know Balfa Toujours does it on their Deux Voyage CD. I think Mack Manuel also recorded this song one time.

John,

Thanks a bunch! I just got it from iTunes.

One thing, though: the Balfa Toujour's version seems to use a different b-part than the Acadian two-step that I know. I wonder which one is "correct"?

When I heard Jesee play it live recently, he seemed to be following the exact melody from that two-step, but maybe I was mistaken.

Does anyone know for sure?

Either way, I'll play it tonight. Thanks for the info!

I like the line about keeping my chaplet in my hands , keeping on praying that you'll be back. Is the chapelet the same as a rosary?

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Lyrics to Two Step Acadien

Yes, it means rosary. I dont know that I've ever the heard lyrics to this song.
