[all (except ti moune, daniel)]
some say…

[agwe, spoken]
how ti moune began her long journey toward the city!

[all (except ti moune, daniel)]
some say…

[city dweller (woman 2)]
some say her feet were bare
and the road was long and cruel

[all (except ti moune, daniel)]
some say…

[city dwellers (woman 1, man 1)]
some say she got a ride from a vendor and his mule

[all (except ti moune, daniel)]
some say…

[city dweller (woman 2)]
the gods pulled up in a car and drove her all the way

[erzulie, asaka, agwe, papa ge, city dwellers]
well, no one knows
how the real truth goes, but that’s what some say!

[all (except ti moune, daniel)]
some say…

[little girl]
and how far did she travel?

[gods]
as far as you suppose

[little girl]
and how long did it take her?

[gods]
much longer than your nose!

[little girl]
and was she ever frightened
or was her love too strong?
and did she know she’d end up
in our story and our song?

[all (except ti moune, daniel)]
our story and our song…
some say…

[asaka, spoken]
what happened when ti moune finally reached the city!

[all (except ti moune, daniel)]
some say…

[city dweller (andrea)]
some say they laughed at her
for her peasant feet were bare

[all (except ti moune, daniel)]
some say…

[city dwellers (armand, man 2, man 1)]
some say the vendor man
gave her shoes too small to wear

[all (except ti moune, daniel)]
some say…

[asaka]
the gods said
“put on the shoes! it’s the price you have to pay!”

[gods, city dwellers (andrea, armand, man 2)]
the shoes were tight, but she said:

[little girl]
all right!

[gods, city dwellers (andrea, armand, man 2)]
well, that’s what some say!

[all (except ti moune, daniel)]
some say…

[papa ge, spoken]
at last, still wearing her painful new city shoes, ti moune arrived at the gates of the hotel beauxhomme. but the fierce guard saw
she had nothing to sell to the tourists

[gatekeeper (man 2), spoken]
stop!

[erzulie, spoken]
but ti moune must have smiled her most beautiful smile. and erzulie must have touched the fierce guard on the shoulder, for he nodded

[all (except ti moune, daniel)]
some say…

[agwe, spoken]
the gate swung open and ti moune entered…

[all (except ti moune, daniel)]
some say…

[asaka, spoken]
…and went in search of her daniel…

[all (except ti moune, daniel)]
some say…

[erzulie]
some say she scrubbed the floors
‘til she learned where he was kept

all (except ti moune, daniel)
some say…

[agwe]
some say she climbed a vine
to the window where he slept

[all (except ti moune, daniel)]
some say…

[gods]
the gods just lifted her up and placed her where he lay

[all (except ti moune, daniel)]
well, no one knows
how the real truth goes
it all depends what you hear from friends
it’s no surprise, if it’s all just lies—
but that’s what some say…

[little girl]
some say…

[all (except ti moune, daniel)]
that’s what some say…

[little girl]
some say…

[all (except ti moune, daniel)]
that’s what some say…

little girl
some say…

all (except ti moune, daniel)
that’s what some say…
