Thread Name: Lyr Req: 'Take a City Bride' and 'Marie' (Cajun)
Subject: RE: Cajun Lyrics Needed: 2 Songs
Dale, thanks. I've posted my e-mail elsewhere on Mudcat, so no point not posting it here: B.Shaw@snet.net. If you have any leads, I'd appreciate the help.

The lyrics above are from the following website: Take a City Bride by Gene Parsons but the French lyrics seem to be phonetic and pretty shaky. If anyone has any idea what they should be, that would help. I'm guessing "told mama et told papa" should be something like "ton mama et ton papa" but my French language training ended many years ago and rusted from lack of use.

My next move is to play the CD for a French Canadian friend of mine. Probably should have tried that 4 years ago!
