Daniel Lanois - Jolie Louise Live (Early 90s)

http://www.squidoo.com/daniel-lanois-songwriter

Ma jolie, how do you do?
Mon nom est Jean-Guy Thibault-Leroux
I come from east of Gatineau
My name is Jean-Guy, ma jolie

J'ai une maison a Lafontaine
where we can live, if you marry me
Une belle maison a Lafontaine
where we will live, you and me
Oh Louise, ma jolie Louise

Tous les matins au soleil
I will work 'til work is done
Tous les matins au soleil
I did work 'til work was done
And one day, the foreman said
"Jean-Guy, we must let you go"
Et pis mon nom, y est pas bon
at the mill anymore...
Oh Louise, I'm losing my head,
I'm losing my head

My kids are small, 4 and 3
et la bouteille, she's mon ami
I drink the rum 'tilI I can't see
It hides the shame Louise does not see
Carousel turns in my head,
and I can't hide, oh no, no, no, no
And the rage turned in my head
and Louise, I struck her down,
down on the ground
I'm losing my mind, I'm losing my mind

En Septembre '63
kids are gone, and so is Louise.
Ontario, they did go
near la ville de Toronto
Now my tears, they roll down,
tous les jours
And I remember the days,
and the promises that we made
Oh Louise, ma jolie Louise, ma jolie Louise.

I've been looking for a Daniel Lanois tune that he sang in French from the Sessions At West 54th program years ago. Was that song ever released? I have it recorded on VHS, but have never been able to find it. He says the name of the song title in the run-in to the song, but please don't ask me to type it. I wouldn't know how. Thank you.

@shitfer It's called Pour ton Sourire, it's one of my videos, enjoy!

[shitfer]

@abcforall Without having looked at the vid yet, that's the name of the song! Thank You! Has he recorded it yet?

[abcforall]

@shitfer No, never has been recorded by him...I think Jorane has recorded it in her album.

Thats because the French Canadians known as Acadians were driven out by the English after the French and Indian war. These Acadians resettled in the Port of New Orleans and over time Acadian evolved into Cajun.

@oniforo - ... yes... New Orleans and proving again French people can be cool anywhere! Probably the best culture in Canada. Or the best place here for ALL culture to happen = Montreal.

La femme câlisse son chum dehors parce qu'il est violent... il est violent à cause qu'il boit... il boit à cause qu'il a honte... honte de quoi? il le dit pas. S'il le disait, peut-être qu'il aurait encore sa femme.
