Cleo Mountborough, who recorded the first Cajun record with her [D] husband Joe Falcao, was really the most well [G]-known Cajun female singer that was ever around.
They didn't have much money and they just got most of their money from the dance hall.
[Bb] Cleo Mountborough would make a lot of her own clothes.
When she would get clothes, she would change the way they looked.
She would make collars and cuffs and put them on just to change the way she looked.
Her niece was [C] saying how Cleo Mountborough had the smallest feet of any woman that she'd ever seen.
She wore a size three and a half shoe.
She was like a little doll.
[G]

[F] [C]
All [G] her nieces played musical instruments.
Solange and Helen Falcao [C] played the rub board, the guitar, the bass.
[Bb] Well, I played with Uncle Joe when I was younger.
I was twelve and a half and I played until I was about nearly fifteen.
I think Cleo and I, we were about the only women on a bandstand.
In those days, I don't know what, but if you went and sang, if a woman was with a band, they didn't think you was, you know, too much.
But she's with her husband and I'm with my uncle and aunt and father on the bandstand so they can't see nothing.
And if we went to the dance and we were really bad, this is what's common.
We couldn't go and mess with our grandmother.
And grandmother was mean and she'd watch us, honey.
There's no way you can slip away from us.
She had the little lens, you know, for the glasses, you know what I'm talking about, the little oblong, long, long, long ago.
So we'd be dancing and you'd dance around the dance hall.
So when we'd pass in front of her, we'd look over her glasses like that and she'd follow you around.
Well, then when you got on the other side, she'd go like this.
She'd be showing you, I'm dancing too close to that boy.
