Cajun Christmas Song
Posted on 12/18/18 at 5:47 pm

I need some help OT. There is a cajun 12 days of Christmas song that says a grobeck in a cypress tree. Grobeck meaning that bird everyone loves to eat but we can’t hunt (I might not be spelling grobeck correctly). It’s not Tee Jules he sings about a crawfish in a fig tree. I need the artist name. Can the OT help?

Surely they must have someone in the Acadiana area that knows this song.

This is the version I remember...
On dem twelveth day of Christmas, my true love she gave to me:
Twelve shotgun shells,
Eleven duck decoys,
Ten pirogue paddles,
Nine oysters stewin',
Eight crabs a brewin',
Seven fleur de lis,
Six cypress knees,
Five poules d'eau,
Four pousse cafe',
Three stuffed shrimp,
Two voodoo dolls,
And a crawfish in a fig tree.
