yeah, so the most popular "country" song in southern france seems to be a contest between cotton eye joe and dirty old town.
i couldn't get into the lyrics and melody of the original, so i made up my own.
lyrics
i met my gal by the glass works wall
the whole town was screaming "hey babe, get over here"
i kissed my girl to the jealousy of all
you dirty old town
everyone was watching us under the lights
i heard them screaming when i bit her ear
i kissed my girl right there that night
that dirty old town
i loved her a long time before that night
they all said "you're crazy man, she ain't gonna treat you right"
but she's my gal, yeah that's who i love
you dirty old town
