Rodney Crowell is a national treasure! This song makes me want to get my people together, put a tub of beer on ice, get out the guitars, get out under some trees and starlight, and pick and sing all night.
There's something real special about songs like this. I can't point to a particular aspect, but it's the groove, the melody, the joy, the simplicity, the cool... just great song writing.
I hope Rodney Crowell never runs out of ideas to write about. I really like the songs from "Tarpaper Sky" album, such a great variety of songs. I never know what to expect from one song to the next, but they are definitely all goodies.
There are some misspellings and grammatical mistakes (which are not because it's Cajun French), but it roughly translates: She is my dear My lover girl I don't speak Franglais (A mix of French and English) I am her good-time guy Wake up to you with love (or lovemaking)... BTW Jole Blon is probably "Jolie Blonde -> Nice Girlfriend"
This is a cool song with a lot of lyric imagination, cross-cultural richness - a yeasty creole broth encompassing erotic references from the Beatles peppered into a cajun-esque text. The use of "I love to see her come" is forthright / explicit but hey! this is 40 years past "Come Together" - a great and sexy John Lennon gem. One small problem here is, if the singer "loves to see her come" thus drawing listener to the woman's bliss-engorged nether regions why would such an earthy, swampy, sexy guy "hate to see her go" listener's brain tends to hear "go" as urinate, defacate for a millisecond prior to snapping into the more mundane - get up and leave the house. One's brain is rattling around the affectionate references to bodily function from "Lady Chatterley's Lover" before the song ends. This might be a very cool lyric sung around a zydeco rhythm or a few more direct appropriations from Hank William's "Jambalaya"
It's a simple play on words in a fun song. No problem there unless the critical listener, well versed in the pedantic traditions of literary criticism, requires one - I don't. Having been there, done that, I prefer to take it at face value literal level first - "I love to see her come," as in arrive, "I hate to see her go," as in depart. Then let the double entendre use of the word "come" fit in with that - I hate to see her go, as in leave, after we've had ourselves a rollickin' bon tempe, works just fine with the intent of the song. No need for potty inference or going all D. H. Lawrence on us, friend; just kick back with us, crack a beer, and enjoy the music for what it is. You could easily put this song into the same set list as Crowell's own "Leaving Louisiana in the Broad Daylight" and make it fit. That's a good place to leave it. Crowell's growing-up home of Houston is just around the gulf from Louisiana and the musical traditions of the two areas are close enough to allow a lot of cross-pollination. Throw a little zydeco into the Texas coast soup, and this is what you get - and I like it, just the way it is.

Ranks right up there with Louisiana Saturday Night and Louisiana Man.
I can't believe this song isn't a hit on the radio right NOW! Love this song so much!
Thank God it's not on "hit" radio! Nobody listens to kiddie wanna be "country" stations.
Love this song and the way Rodney sings it.

Anyone have a GOOD translation of the last verse? I know a little French, but this isn't pure French, or Canadian French either.
All I got out of it was love in the morning on the kitchen table and the cabin floor - that's about all the translatin' I needed to get the drift.
It's Cajun creole
Joe Dickey
Haha- yes I pretty much knew the implication already.

Cajun and Creole are two different dialects of French, not a language. So there's French Cajun and French Creole.
There are some misspellings and grammatical mistakes (which are not because it's Cajun French), but it roughly translates:
She is my dear
My lover girl
I don't speak Franglais (A mix of French and English)
I am her good-time guy
Wake up to you with love (or lovemaking)...
BTW Jole Blon is probably "Jolie Blonde -> Nice Girlfriend"
She is my dear, my girl lover, I don't speak Frenglish, I am her good lover, wake up to me with love,
Jesse Brown was aaj
What does the French translate to

Franglais?
Puhh-Leez
Franglais- Combining English and French, which is more or less the 'Cajun' (Acadian) language. Like Spanglish only French! : )
Ok
Embarrassing
