The song was written by and originally performed by Calypso Rose - see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calypso_Rose and also do a search for her here on YouTube. This Bonnie Raitt, Van Dyke Parks arrangement is very authentic in my opinion.

Andy Wolf

I can't figure out if this is Cajun or Reggae or both. =) It doesn't matter one bit.
