11 If you turn yourself into a husband way down in Hell, I'll turn me into Saints Peter and Paul for to ope? the gates, Pll kiss my love in a light and friendly way. (2)
12 If you turn you into Saints Peter and Paul for to ope5 the gates, Pll turn into an angel, sir, and live in heaven,
My goodness, what a friend of mine you'll be. (2)
13 If you turn yourself into an angel and live in heaven, Pll turn myself into the sun for to make you shine, Pll make you shine in a light and friendly way. (2) |

QU'AVEC-VOUS, OUI, BELLE BLONDE
(What's Wrong, Little Blonde)
£ to ab. No. 17. Jesse Stafford, Crowley, La., 1934.
This enigmatic tune, which sometimes sounds medieval and sometimes like an early blues, was sung by a Cajun-speaking lanky, blond farmer near Crowley, named Jesse Stafford. He began with "Trois jolis tambours," and before he was through had recorded "Frankie and Johnny," "Weevily Wheat," "Devilish Mary," "Pm Alone in This World," "The Roving Cowboy," and this song of rum and wickedness. |
