I sing "Jambalaya and the catfish fryin and the file gumbo." Crawfish turn me off.

Somewhere I read that Yvonne owned the bar where Hank Williams and his friend wrote the song. In that account, the friend was named Ricky or maybe Bobbie.

I sang this at yesterday's singaround, and I did not appreciate some guy barging into the applause and snapping at me about not mentioning this little-known Moon Mullican (sure, and he's a Cajun). I had wanted to say a sentence or two about my visit to Cajun country, but no. A white guy
had a chip on his shoulder, so never mind that it was still my turn.
