Exodus – Cajun Hell

Down in the bayou where the alligators roam
Live some people, you leave them alone
Getting lost may be your last mistake
Unfriendly strangers, unkindly they take
Living off the fat of the land
They hold their justice in the palm of their hand
Lay down your gun and surrender quiet
Or there’s gonna be a Cajun riot

Danger in the swamp, that waits for you
There’s nothing left that you can do
Better watch your back, for the vicious attack
‘Cause they’ll be looking for you
Playing with your life, for your life is too short
Pain is too good for you
Your last breath, is all you have left
Take it before you’re doomed
Cajun hell
Before you’re doomed

Raising hell, and they’re ready for fighting
Huntin’ gators and drinking white lightning
Brewin’ moonshine at a still in the swamp
Playing Creole from dusk until dawn
Protect their own is the law of the land
Mess with their law it will get out of hand
Keep it in mind if you’re ever down there
It might be fatal, you better beware

Can eny one name the artist of a good Cajun band??

I need to know the name or artist of a good Cajun song. I mean the good old southern bayou type music with all the accordions,fiddles and French speaking stuff?

Agree with earlier posts

try the best of Beausoleil

grand mallet is a good one for the style you requested

Another favorite song of mine by Hank William and also has been performed by many is
Jambalaya (on the bayou)

its a classic!

Good-bye, Joe, me gotta go, me oh my oh
Me gotta go pole the pirogue down the bayou.
My Yvonne, the sweetest one, me oh my oh
Son of a gun, we’ll have big fun on the bayou.

(Chorus)
Jambalaya and a crawfish pie and fillet gumbo
‘Cause tonight I’m gonna see my ma cher amio
Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gay-o
Son of a gun, we’ll have big fun on the bayou.

Thibodaux, Fontaineaux, the place is buzzin’
Kinfolk come to see Yvonne by the dozen
Dress in style and go hog wild, me oh my oh
Son of a gun, we’ll have big fun on the bayou.

(Chorus)
Jambalaya and a crawfish pie and fillet gumbo
‘Cause tonight I’m gonna see my ma cher amio
Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gay-o
Son of a gun, we’ll have big fun on the bayou.

Settle down far from town, get me a pirogue
And I’ll catch all the fish in the bayou
Swap my mon to buy Yvonne what she need-o
Son of a gun, we’ll have big fun on the bayou.

(Chorus)Jambalaya and a crawfish pie and fillet gumbo
‘Cause tonight I’m gonna see my ma cher amio
Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gay-o
Son of a gun, we’ll have big fun on the bayou.

TEAM BeauSoleil Takes First for Market Viability in 2009 Solar Decathlon

The BeauSoleil Louisiana Solar Home was designed and built by Louisiana students for Louisiana residents. Judges for the Market Viability contest in the 2009 U.S. Department of Energy Solar Decathlon recognized that.

The University of Louisiana at Lafayette team placed first in the contest. Judges were looking for homes that answered the needs of their clients.

TEAM BeauSoleil designed for Louisiana residents who face harsh summers and hurricanes.

The (BeauSoleil) house hit on all cylinders, said Joyce Mason, Market Viability judge and vice president for marketing with Pardee Homes. We were so impressed with the degree to which the team listened to their market. They didnt impose their ideas or try to infer them upon their residents.

The team is one of 20 university teams from across the globe competing in the 2009 Solar Decathlon on the National Mall. TEAM BeauSoleil is the only team from Louisiana to ever participate in this contest held every two years.

We knew from the beginning that if we couldnt bring this home to the people of Louisiana, we wouldnt accomplish anything, said Gretchen Lacombe Vanicor, BeauSoleil project manager. We paid a lot of attention to our Cajun culture and produced a product that is viable.

is their a Cajun music radio station in dallas?


I wish! Leo Perrin has a cajun zydeco music show on KNON on Monday nights at 8:00 – location is 89.3 FM. He is slightly irritating and every minute he tells you how many minutes are left in his show but it’s about all we get here.

There is a party at Poor David’s on the 18th – info on KNON web site

Also on Sunday almost all day starting at 7 – 4 you can listed to Cajun and zydeco music on the Lafayette La. Public Radio station KVRS. They broadcast over the internet.

Heck, there isn’t even much Cajun music heard in this town.

Steve Riley forever!!!!
