Chantez Les Bas

(앨범: St. Louis Blues - 1958)

Down in Louisiana
Louisiana, land of a Creole suisse
Patwa, Mardi Gras, and romantic blues

Once I heard a lover
When work was over
Strum a Creole croon
To his lovey dovey
Underneath a dixie moon

I heard him say just so...
Chantez les ba
That means in Creole
Sing 'em low
I like that purty word
Chantez les ba
She liked the blues played sweetly and slow

Chantez les ba
I can't forget that serenade
And if you listen to me just for awhile
I'll try to sing for you just what he said

Oh, in the morning baby just 'fore day
In the morning just 'fore day
In the morning just 'fore day
New Orleans Hey Hey

Oh, in the morning baby just 'fore day
In the morning just 'fore day
In the morning just 'fore day
I'll come and get you and take you away
Far, far away
Chantez les ba

Far, far away
Chantez les ba
