'TITS YEUX BLEUS (Little Blue Eyes). AKA - "Tee Yeux Bleu," "Tes Yeux Bleu." Cajun, Waltz (3/4 time). USA, southwestern Louisiana. A Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). One part. “Tes Yeux Bleu" is from the playing of Cajun singer and accordion player Jo-El Sonnier (b. 1946, Rayne, Louisiana). It was his first song, written and recorded when he was only around 12 years old; it has since become a classic of Cajun repertory.
Heh, mes p'tit yeux bleu tu m'as quitté pour un autre. Regarder donc, comment j'va faire? J'su moi tout seul à la maison dans les misères.
Heh, mes p'tit yeux bleu tu va brailler, brailler pour moi. Regarder donc, comment j'va faire? J'su moi tout seul à la maison dans les misères.
