| Voici une histoire D'un homme cajun Amadie Adouin Etat son nom Avec sa guitare Et avec sa voix Amadie Adouin Etait le roi | Here is the story Of a Cajun man Amadie Adouin Was his name With his guitar And his voice Amadie Adouin Was the king |
When one side's white the other side must be black
| La sueur brulait Dans ses yeux Les blancs ont crie N' arrete pas Quand Amadie pouvait plus jouer Il demandait a Celine Son mouchoir | The sweat burnt In his eyes The whites shouted Don't stop When Amadie couldn't Play anymore He asked to Celine His handerchief |
Tears a white handkerchief just could not hide
| Les bois d'Arcadia Ils sont morts Au fond de la terre Amadie s'endort Mais si vous voulez Ecouter sa voix Demande aux Ricains De la chercher d'en bas | The forest of Arcadia Is dead Deep under the ground Amadie falls asleep But if you want to listen To his voice Ask the Yanks To look for it from the bottom |
Good old boys in a good ol' Model T Ford
Amadie took a walk by the railroad track
To the other side and he won't be coming back
They ran right over Amadie's vocal cords
Those good old boys in a good old Model T Ford
Amadie took a walk by the railroad track
To the other side and he won't be coming back
