Some say...
How Ti Moune began her long journey toward the city!
Some say...
Some say her feet were bare
And the road was long and cruel
Some say...
Some say she got a ride from a vendor and his mule
Some say...
The gods pulled up in a car and drove her all the way
Well, no one knows
How the real truth goes, but that's what some say!
Some say...
And how far did she travel?
As far as you suppose
And how long did it take her?
Much longer than your nose!
And was she ever frightened
Or was her love too strong?
And did she know she'd end up
In our story and our song?
Our story and our song...
Some say...
What happened when Ti Moune finally reached the city!
Some say...
Some say they laughed at her
For her peasant feet were bare
Some say...
Some say the vendor man
Gave her shoes too small to wear
Some say...
The gods said
"Put on the shoes! It's the price you have to pay!"
The shoes were tight, but she said:
All right!
Well, that's what some say!
Some say...
At last, still wearing her painful new city shoes,
Ti Moune arrived at the gates of the
Hotel Beauxhomme. But the fierce guard saw
She had nothing to sell to the tourists
Stop!
But Ti Moune must have smiled her most beautiful smile.
And Erzulie must have touched the
Fierce guard on the shoulder, for he nodded
Some say...
The gate swung open and Ti Moune entered...
Some say...
...and went in search of her Daniel...
Some say...
Some say she scrubbed the floors
'Til she learned where he was kept
ALL (EXCEPT TI MOUNE, DANIEL)
Some say...
Some say she climbed a vine
To the window where he slept
Some say...
The gods just lifted her up and placed her where he lay
Well, no one knows
How the real truth goes
It all depends what you hear from friends
It's no surprise, if it's all just lies—
But that's what some say...
Some say...
That's what some say...
Some say...
That's what some say...
LITTLE GIRL
Some say...
ALL (EXCEPT TI MOUNE, DANIEL)
That's what some say...
