BEBE CREOLE (Creole Baby). Cajun, Waltz. USA, southwestern Louisiana. C Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). A(Vocal A)A(Vocal B)B(Vocal A)A(Vocal B)B(Vocal A)A. Raymond Francois explains that the term Creole refers to having origins in the French part of Louisiana. He notes the term has shifted meaning along racial lines only in modern times, with blacks from the region now referring to themselves as Creole while whites call themselves Cajun (formerly a derogatory term). A related song is "C'est Pas la Peine Tu Brailles."
