Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm one smart Frenchmen never been to school
You want to get some-where in a Creole town
To Start let me show you, your way to town
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
But she's got ways like the old craw-fish
She don't know nothing, but raise sand all night
But when it come to making love, she's alright
If you want to have yourself, some real-fine fun
Go down to Louisiana and get you some
You'll find her cutting cane all down the line
I got a cotton picker, she's really fine
At the church bazaar or the baseball game
At the French tra-la it's all the same
If you want-a have fun you got to go
Way out in the country to the zydeco
