Dirk P Stewart is a solo performer of his original material. Roots of Folk/Blues acoustic flavored and favored. Writing since 1972 only now willing to share. I do this for fun and enjoyment, my own therapy of sorts. Glad to be alive.

Story behind the song
Dreams of my Acadian/Cajun Roots there.
Lyrics
I was born to a woman down in Lafayette, Father was Acadian, thats what they said. Ran a voodoo house on the edge of town, Were the Creole women worked every night until, dawn. Did some time in the swamplands and down on Parchment Farm And I ran from the hound dogs and the man with one arm Well I've tamed alligators and I've wrestled snakes mean When your tryin to make a livin, you do what it takes Well him and his hound dogs they bulled that farm No one ever ran from his one arm. Double oughtbuckshot was the name of his game, So if the dogs didn't get you, You could count on his spray... Well he tamed alligators and he wrestled snakes mean, When your tryin to make a livin, you'll do what it takes. He had a mean streak in him long as a Missisippi snake, When your tryin to make a livin, you'll do what it takes. Copyright DP Stewart Barque & Byte Publishing 03
