The Man
Black M Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Playing a fiddle in a cajun band
Zydeco and a little two step
Playing on the day that I left
Moved from there and I got some land
That's when I met my mountain man
Brought with him his old banjo
If you turn it up
On the stereo
You'll here we ain't playing no Cotton-Eyed Joe
Make you stomp your feet and clap your hands
When Louisiana meets a mountain man
Louisiana meets a mountain man
Louisiana meets a mountain man
Some things here don't seem to change
Cook a big ole gumbo every time it rains
Everybody's welcome through the screen door
Bring your moves to our hardwood floor
If you turn it up
On the stereo
You'll hear we ain't playing no cotton-eyed Joe
Make you stomp your feet and clap your hands
When Louisiana meets a mountain man
Louisiana meets a mountain man
Louisiana meets a mountain man
Unlikely they'd ever congregate
cccordions always need a little space
When a Cajun woman loves a Hillbilly man
Breaking all the rules
Go on and dance how you can
Dance how you can
Dance how you can
If you turn it up
On the stereo
You'll hear we ain't playing no Cotton-Eyed Joe
Make you stomp your feet and clap your hands
When Louisiana meets a mountain man
Louisiana meets a mountain man
Louisiana meets a mountain man
The lyrics to Black M's song "The Man" tell a story about two people from different backgrounds coming together through their love for music. The song begins by introducing a simple girl from Louisiana who plays the fiddle in a Cajun band. She meets a mountain man and they start making music together, with him playing the banjo. The lyrics emphasize that their music is unique and different from the popular song "Cotton-Eyed Joe." The song highlights the joy and energy their music brings, making people stomp their feet and clap their hands.
The second verse mentions that some things in their lives don't change, such as cooking gumbo every time it rains and welcoming everyone through their screen door. The lyrics paint a picture of a lively and inclusive atmosphere, with people bringing their dance moves to the hardwood floor. The chorus repeats the message of their music being distinct and not conforming to popular tunes like "Cotton-Eyed Joe." It celebrates the coming together of Louisiana and mountain country influences.
The third verse mentions the uniqueness of the couple, as accordions and hillbilly music don't typically coexist. However, when a Cajun woman loves a Hillbilly man, they break the rules and dance together in their own way. The lyrics encourage listeners to embrace their uniqueness and dance as they can.
Overall, the song celebrates the fusion of different cultures and the power of music to bring people together. It showcases the energy and joy that comes from embracing diversity and creating something new and beautiful.
