Hi all,

I know the lyrics for the Adam Hébert version, but I am looking for the lyrics for the Dewey Segura Rosalie version.

You can listen to it with the link#1.

I already have understood 70% of the sentences, but the recording quality don't allowed me to "really heard" all the song, so please let me know if you have it,

best regards,

Greg

I don't understand all the second verse. This verse by Jambalaya Cajun Band (CD "C'est fun"), is very similar.

Oh, Oh Rosalie,
Mais t’en as fait mais dans ta visité(???), la la la.
C’est juste à l’âge de quatorze ans t’empoisonné mon coeur

Oh, ‘tit nèg’ à Tante Dolly
Qu’ils ont trouvé noyé
Parmi les water lillies
Dans la coulée Rodair

Quand j’ai quitté de la maison pour m’en aller si loin de toi
J’étais voir la belle, j’lai trouvée jolie malade.
Moi j’ai dit ça m’fait d’la peine de t’quitter,
J’ai dit mais j’suis obligé, mais moi tout seul chérie.

Marc.

Same tune Octa Clark calles "Le Tit Neg A Tante Dolice", and I think same tune as Amede Ardoin's "Les Blues De Voyage". I hear things a little different in the 1st and 2nd verses.

Oh, Oh Rosalie,
Mais t’en as fait mais dans ta visite, eh, lord lord.
Depuis l’âge de quatorze ans t’empoisonné mon coeur

Oh, ‘tit nèg’ à Tante Dolly (Dolice?)
Qui t'as empoisonné
?
Dans la coulée Rodair

thank you very much guys!

it's cool because I don't have most of the sentences you fount!

I 'll try to complete the song with the lyrics you gave to me!

I'll post all the lyrics with you're help when it'll be ok (if it can interested).

The only thing I am not sure it's the first sentence you gave to me,

I understood (same lyrics as hebert version for the first sentence):

Oh, Oh Rosalie,
t'en as fait dans ta vie 'tite fille

that the only difference with you, but no problem, very nice from you guys for the answer

After listening again, I think you're right, Greg.

I was reading this forum, I am not really comfortable on the computer etc. but I will give it a shot. Below is what I hear for the words for Rosalie. Excuse my french spelling, it is terrible.

Oh Oh Rosalie
Si tant que ta fait, quand j'tai visite' Lord Lord Lord
Depu's l'age de quatorze ans t'enpoisonne' mon couer

Oh le 'tit neg a tante Doline[Dolly] qu'ils ont trouve' noyer[neyer]
parmi les water lillies dans la coulee Rodair

Moi j'ai quitter la maison pour m'en aller si loin
J'tais voir la belle, j'lai trouver au lit malade
Moi jai dit ca m'fait la peine de quitter lui
Moi jai fait mon pacquet, mon tout seul cherie

This tune is known as the Blues a Voyageur by Amede Ardoin, also as Rosalie by Dewey Segura,. I learned the song as The 'Tit Neg a Tante Doline. Alphe Bergeron and Shirley Ray Bergeron recorded it as The Crepe a Nazaire. I hope this helps.

Thank you very much Robert, you got all the lyrics, congrats!
