'moi et ma belle on ava z-etay au balle
on a passay par tou les honky tonks
s'en a revenu le lendemain matin
le jour etay apres-casser
j'ai passer par la porte d'en arriere

me and my gal went to the ball
we stopped by all the honky tonks
the next morning when day was breaking
I came in by the back door..

that was the 1st verse as I remember it...

the 'cadiens told me that this was the 2nd most popular cajun song after Joli Blon
