LOUISIANA
OH BONSOIR MOREAU
(Cajun French)

Oh bonsoir Moreau*, oh bonsoir Moreau
Oh j'connais c'est l'heure j'm'en vas
Oh bonsoir Moreau
On a eu un bon temps
Un bon temps toute la nuit
Oh j' connais c'est l'heure j' m'en vas
Oh bonsoir Moreau
Oh, la lune après s' coucher
Et le soleil après lever
Et Caillette est pas tirée
Oh bonsoir Moreau !
OH GOOD NIGHT MOREAU


Oh, good night, Moreau, oh, good night, Moreau,
Oh, I know, time is up, I'm leaving.
Oh, good night Moreau,
We had a great time,
A great time all night long.
Oh, I know, time is up, I'm leaving.
Oh, good night Moreau,
Oh the moon is about to set
And the sun about to rise
And Caillette wasn't milked
Oh, good night Moreau!
*In Cajun French "Bonsoir Moreau" means "Good evening/night barman".
