Check out the version Bud & Travis did on their debut album, "Bud & Travis." Bud Dashiell's mother was a French-born entertainer and he spoke (and sang) fluent French. They may have modified the lyrics slightly, with Bud doing the French verses and Travis handling the English parts beautifully, with only their two classical guitars and a guitarron.

"Yellow Bird," which was done by everyone from Belafonte to The Ames Brothers, was obviously derived from "Choucounne."
