Bien merci, Marc. My writing is self taught so I can only guess it looks like an illiterates writing. And I always wrestle with spelling out the Cajun contractions or leaving them as pronounced.
One note about the song Entiere Moi Pas, is I think 73 Special is the same tune played in the second position.

No, it looks fine. For song lyrics presentation it's just a matter of personal choice, for us too. No rule for us either. Choosing to show the contractions is fine because it makes people learn and memorize a new song more easily. Just an example taken at random (a "classic" French song):
Indeed, Cher. My Monarch accordion is more like a museum piece, mint, with all its original parts, its original box, even its genuine wrapping paper.
My Sterling accordion is in Bb. You can hear it clearly on the Frisson de la Ville Platte.
It was reworked years ago, "swing tuning" was added, and it has a very nice "old-timey" sound, similar to the Sterling accordion of the late Cyprien Landreneau.
Now, when I went to rock and roll at Sun Studio lately, I used a brand new F accordion built by my ole chum Marc Savoy. It had the right sound for recording the song I had made for the occasion.
