  • No, I don't think so. I was told by Terry Clement that the title came from the name of a dancehall in Evangeline called the Pinegrove Club, on Terry's grandfather's property. The house band led by fiddler Will Kegley went by the name Pinegrove Boys. They recruited Nathan Abshire to play accordion with them, so he named his tune the Pinegrove Blues (Ma Negresse). This is not related to the song In the Pines. The lyrics in French never do mention Pine trees at all.

  • Hey; bon ouvrage!

    Merci pour partager.

  • Dont understand a word of french, but love cajun, how does that work? ive given up trying to understand why i love it but i do.

  • theres gotta be a connection, especially since the song is called pine grove blues. . .as in " in the pines, in the pines, where the sun dont ever shine"

  • Isn't where were you last night? Later in the song he sings about her coming home in the morning with her dress torn up, and she says somthing about the fence.

  • WOW.

    Don't understand a word but dig the groove.

  • It's interesting that this song is in connection with Where did you sleep last night... translation is: "Hey, black girl, where did you sleep last night?" ;)
