Back to Pointe Noire Two-Step
POINTE NOIRE TWO-STEP. Cajun, Two-Step (4/4 time). USA, southwestern Louisiana. A Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). One part. Raymond Francois (1990) remarks that La Pointe Noire (named becuase a point of woods in the area near Richard looks dark or black when viewed from the north) was the site of an old forge. It "had a reputation for some terrible knife fights in the old days; it was the sort of place you would visit only if you were invited. This area produced many fine musicians."
'Garde ton nèg', il est après arriver, chère
Par la fenêtre tu peux le voir s’en revenir, chère
Ta maman va être toujours dure contre moi
Ton papa a l’aire de vouloir êt' dur.
Rappelle-toi, l’aut' mardi passé, chère
Tu m’as dit, tu voulais venir avec moi, chère
Ta maman elle voulait pas on se r' join'
et droit devant, dedans la porte de ton pap’
Moi j' voudrais tu t’en reviens avec moi, chère
Une autre fois pour rejoindre ton nègre, chère
Regarde donc bien moi je t’ai voulu te voir
Moi je voudrais tu t’en r' vien avec moi.
