TODAY'S CAJUN ADVICE
Lyrics by Kate
Jump in the hat, the time has come to skip that 5pm blues
New Orleans fever will take away the mere peace of mind of the fools
Well the fools like the hares, right? (Not about to lie)
Let’s say I followed one ‘til he got out of my sight
8 miles below he was givin’ a show
Breakin’ a stale flow with an old banjo
Take a last danse and rise from the ashes
Show me how to be the next at Rouses
Watchless jackrabbits neckroamers
- Pardon me Sir, your eyes appear to be familiar?
- Oh totally, but don’t trust me blindly...
‘Cause you never know in wich kinda hole you will fall
DAMN! One foot of water, the sea’s up to your floor
Heave it out of ya to reach the big red door
Let’s hear today’s Cajun advice for the crazy pals:
Let it poor but don’t flood my gal !
Two feet of water, the string is around your neck
In fact when it’s so close it’s too damn tempting
« Today’s Cajun advice for the crazy pals: »
Hit’em all but the 5th my gal !
Hats off lonesome handsome goathered
- Help me its 5, I need something to stay alive !
- I’m satisfied, but don’t you take the bride...
‘Cause you never know in wich kinda arms you will die
Three, four, five feet, she’s sinkin’ away
A bitter taste remains, devil’s cut of the day
But remember today’s Cajun advice for the crazy pals:
Never take away the peace of mind of my gal

From the troubled mind of a mad man comes a melody. Through the whiskey-soaked vocal chords comes a sound. Slide to steel to
seal the deal. From the streets of Vancouver to the alleys of Montréal.
Stompin' Trees are a modern interpretation of what music once was, that evokes the echoes of old blues songs in the mountains of repertoire that has come since. They are raw folk in a refined form....more
