BELLE
eb* No. ii. Mr. Bornu, Kaplan, La., 1934.
The influence of the Westerns and of jazz is plain to be seen in this modern chronicle of the Cajun country. When a man is ready to sacrifice his cow pony (named, of all things, Henry) for his true love, he is, accordÂing to the philosophy of the wild young boys of southwestern Louisiana, a completely devoted lover. |

I Mais si j' une belle ici, Belle, Cest par rapport a toi, Belle, Mais si j' une belle ici, Belle, C'est par rapport a toi, Belle. |
1 If I've a babe in town, Babe,
It's just when you're around,
Babe, If Pve a babe in town, Babe, It's just when you're around,
Babe.
2 I caught a long slow freight,
Babe, Bound out for Texas state, Babe, I caught a long slow freight,
Babe, Bound out for Texas state, Babe.
3 Three days I hung around, Babe, That lonesome Texas town, Babe, You wrote you's sick in bed, Babe, Rags wrapped all round your
head, Babe. |

2 J'ai pris ce char ici, Belle, Pour m'en aller au Texas, Belle, J'ai pris ce char ici, Belle Pour m'en aller au Texas, Belle. |

3 Y avait just5 trois jours, Bel-Le, que j'etais la-bas, Belle, J'ai r'gu-z-une lettre de toi, Belle, Que t'etais bien malade, Belle. |
