Marc	French songs of immigration (10)	French songs of immigration	04 May 03
Anyone interested in biting on this. I'm looking for a couple songs (preferably in french) that deal with immigration. Either about leaving France for Canada, or better yet songs about leaving Canada during the 19th century to work in the mills of New England. Any input is appreciated. I don't mind doing the research myself, I'm just not sure where to start, and my french is not quite strong enough to to just go to 'Bibliothéque Folklore' web sites. I've been looking at La Bottine Souriant & La Bolduc lyrics, but I'm either not translating them effectively, or I'm not finding any that deal specifically with taking the trip. Again any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank You Merci Marc Bernier
