zachary richard – no french no more lyrics
no french, no more
my papa was a hard working mand,
held a plow inside a caloused hand.
up before the sun out on theland.
try to give us everything he can.
he sent us off to school when a teacher came,
he said, my boy try hard, do the best you can.
but the teacher we could not understand
because she only talked am? ricain .
papa couldn t tell us and it didn t make no sense
when the teacher told us we couldn t talk no french no more.
things were changing fast it louisiane,
cajun can t talk english feel ashamed.
but nowadays, it s getting so you can t
tell the cajuns from am? rcains.
papa couldn t tell us and it didn t make no sense
when the teacher told us we couldn t talk no french no more.
do you hear me calling, do you understand?
once it is gone, it ain t never coming back no more.
i got me a job just like my papa planned,
i wear a suit and dirt never touch my hand,
but i still see the look in my papa s eyes,
the pain and the shame that he just could not hide.
papa couldn t tell us and it didn t make no sense
when the teacher told us we couldn t talk no french no more.
do you hear me calling, do you understand?
once it is gone, it ain t never coming back no more.
h?, mon cher gar? on,
est-ce que tu me comprends?
