This Creole folk song from the Louisiana Bayou makes for a beautiful partner song when paired with Mango Walk.

I love this song paired with a partner song composed by Denise Bacon. The soaring octave jump in the partner song would be great for those vocalists who love to sing high and show off a beautiful voice. It would also sound great played on instruments.

My Paddle
This song sounds lovely when it's paired with a partner song, as Denise Bacon does, or sung in a round. It's also great for presenting the syncopated eighth-quarter-eighth (or "syncopa") rhythm.
