I'm not sure I follow you, WF. Is the second verse supposed to look like this?

Oh, my pretty heart,
You left to go to your poor papa,
You left me, but, my dear,
Oh my! I am all alone,
Oh my! I'm miserable,
What hope, what future can I have?

P.S. I need some help proofreading four Cajun songs for a volunteer project. If you can help, send me an e-mail.
Thanks.
