[edit] Lyrics
I added French lyrics with an English translation beside it... feel free to modify that if you want, I'm not a professional translator. Also if someone wants to try to format that to look better than I could do, that would be great. Ctimbury 03:10, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] other/original meaning re fur trade
Forgive me if I'm wrong and am confusing this with another term, but I beleve there's an older context than the song title; gens du pays was a term for people in/from the pays d'en haut, "the upper country", .e. the Lakehead/Lake Superior/Nipigon region; part of the voyageur/coureur du bois culture/era but not voyageurs or courers du bois themselves. I remember a discussion of this, I think on CBC Radio, about the different layers of French lifestyle/identity westwards; anyone have thoughts on this?Skookum1 (talk) 16:37, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
