Bon Ton Roula

Bon Ton Roula - Clarence Garlow

You see me there

But I ain't no fool

I'm one smart Frenchmen

Never been to school

You want to get somewhere

In a Creole town

You stop and let me show you your way around

You let the Bon Ton Roula

You let the mule-a bool-a

Now don't you be no fool-a

You let the Bon Ton Roula

I got a Creole gal

She's one fine dish

But she's got way's like

The old craw-fish

She don't do nothing

But raise sand all night

But when it comes to loving

She's a much all right

We let the Bon Ton Roula

We let the mule-a bool-a

Now don't you be no fool-a

We let the Bon Ton Roula

You want to have yourself

Some real fine fun

Go down to Louisiana

And you get to round

You'll find her cutting cane

All down the line

I got a cotton picker

She's really fine

We let the Bon Ton Roula

We let the mule-a bool-a

Now don't you be no fool-a

We let the Bon Ton Roula

At the church bazaar

Or the baseball game

At the French trala

It's all the same

You wanna have fun

Now you got to go

Way out in the country to the zydeco

And let the Bon Ton Roula

And let the mule-a bool-a

Now don't you be no fool-a

You let the Bon Ton Roula
