Author's Note Parts of Louisiana have descendants from French people moved from Canada by the British after the British lost the American Revolutionary War. The British were pissed that the French helped the Americans. Cajun the word is shortened version of Acadian which is what the people were called when they arrived in Louisiana. They speak a time in the bottle version of French as it was in 1750. Of course, with influences from Spanish, black slaves and Native Americans. Modern examples include Lacey Chabert, Jared Leto, James Carville and others. My family from there, I spent time there. There are two hundred and fifty thousand Cajun and Creole people in America now.

I cut some big rye bread and toasted it and put peanut butter on it, poured some milk and all be done.

I went for da toast first wit milk. I be humming. Then I be slowing down and ate and drank. I be doing it again, and I be better.

Mama be pouring Cajun coffee fo both us. We be on da TV show tomorrow.

Sister Mary, Mama and I be flying to Los Angeles. We be first class. Da seats be so wide, Mama be humming! I be hugging her arm. "I love you Mama, wit all my heart."

Mama smiled at me. Dey brought me steak sandwich. Coffee, orange juice, de café strong, not be normal.

"Mama what be steak?"

"Cher, it be like beef shank we roast, cept it chews easy. It be good Cher."

I be sleeping head in Mama's lap, when she be waking me.

I's right front of dat man, said, "I be Beth Moss. Sister Mary and Sister Mary Clare be wit me. Dey my family.

He said, "Come with me, there is a car for you."

It be long walk, specially for Mama, been long time since she be in Galveston. She be slowing down, I be holding her arm and she be sitting on da floor.

I's screaming, "Help, help, help, " and der were men and women and an dey had mask on her face and den Sister Mary and her be getting in ambulance.

Da man said, "Beth are you okay, we have to go.

I be nodding and walked wit him to dis long, shiny black car. He opened da door and I stepped in.

Der be three women. Dey be talking at same time, looking down as da car drove away.

Dey be talking fast not to me. I be singing low my eyes closed, "Hello Josephine, how do you do? Do you remember me my baby, like I remember you? You used to laugh at me and holler woo, woo, woo."

I be swaying like my mama and daddy did, I knew I be hugging them soon.

"Beth can you sing that again a little louder."

My eyes be open and I be nodding and I be all over Ry Cooder's voice, he be coon ass just like I be, little rasp and dey stopped talking.

"Do you know other songs? That you sing when you run?"

I nodded yes.

"Dis be one Sister Mary Clare, taught me, she a coon ass dis like me, but she be born in Galveston."

Took my first breath, where the muddy Brazos

Spills into the Gulf of Mexico

Where the skyline's colored by chemical plants

T'put bread on the table of the working man

Where the working man does his best to provide

Safety and shelter for kids and a wife

Given little of his soul every day

Making over time to keep the wolves away

Well I was barely thirteen when the company man

Tried to dig my dad his grave

It happened on a French owned tanker ship

Spillin' poison in the Galveston Bay

Where the liquid fire filled his lungs and his eyes

Silenced any mortal cries

Cold and the grip of death stinging pain

He fought like hell to keep the wolves away

For the next few years dad was sick as a dog

But he made a recovery just to spite the odds

The settlement came and we moved out of town

Where the sky isn't heavy with refinery clouds

Yeah he's still alive he's doing good he's in his fifties

But the moneys running out, 'n he's pinching for pennies

So goin' for broke with every song I've made

'Cause now it's my turn to keep the wolves away

Der mouths be opened. I be crying and said, "Daddy died in a battery factory fire, den my mama be one woman man and she be starved I's fifteen. I be loving Sister Mary Clare, like she my mama, she collapsed and is in da hospital now. I be praying hard for her right now, "crossed myself, "Please think of her.

"What about Gloria, don't you sing that too?"

"I be stealing food from Brookshires Grocery. Ms. Jean be neighbor, Mary Anne and I be best friends. I be in tree watching her cook through her window and she be singing dis, so be singing too."

Gloria, you're always on the run now

Running after somebody

You gotta get him somehow

I think you've got to slow down

Before you start to blow it

I think you're headed for a breakdown

So be careful not to show it

You really don't remember

Was it something that he said?

Are the voices in your head calling, Gloria?

Gloria, don't you think you're fallin'?

If everybody wants you

Why isn't anybody callin'?

You don't have to answer

Leave 'em hangin' on the line

Oh-oh, calling Gloria

Gloria (Gloria)

I think they got your number (Gloria)

I think they got the alias (Gloria)

That you've been living under (Gloria)

But you really don't remember

Was it something that they said?

Are the voices in your head calling, Gloria?

A-ha-ha, a-ha-ha

Gloria, how's it gonna go down?

Will you meet him on the main line?

Or will you catch him on the rebound?

Will you marry for the money?

Take a lover in the afternoon?

Feel your innocence slippin' away

Don't believe it's comin' back soon

And you really don't remember

Was it something that he said?

Are the voices in your head calling, Gloria?

Gloria, don't you think you're fallin'?

If everybody wants you

Why isn't anybody callin'?

You don't have to answer

Leave them hangin' on the line

Oh-oh, calling Gloria

Gloria (Gloria)

I think they got your number (Gloria)

I think they got the alias (Gloria)

That you've been living under (Gloria)

But you really don't remember

Was it something that they said?

Are the voices in your head calling, Gloria?

(Gloria, Gloria, Gloria, Gloria, Gloria)

(Gloria, Gloria, Gloria, Gloria, Gloria)

"Did you get all that? Three plus octaves, blues rasp, a little Janice."

"Beth, do you have a dress?"

"I be living in a home for orphan girls run by nuns who be under vow of poverty. Holy Names Academy. I wore dis when I ran. I be me. It be good enough for dem to feed me and teach me and take care of me, it good for da rest of da world."

We got to da where we 'sposed to be and we walked into da building, be hot, but not like Bossier City.

Dis woman came up and said, "Hi Beth, I'm Molly Kimmel, Jimmy's wife. We have some nice clothes, dresses and shoes to choose from, she reached for my arm and said come on child."

I be not moving and she stopped and looked at me.

"I be here cause I a fast coon ass orphan running for Holy Names Academy. Dey feed me, take care of me teach me. I be fast only because dey love and care for me. If dat not good for you, take me to hospital."

She smiled at me and said, "I have four kids and I hope they're like you."

I be blurting, "I want to be a wife and mama, like you. I be virgin."

She be smiling and be hugging me and I said, "I be scared."

She said, "I got you Beth, we have to put some powder on your face for the lights and maybe tighten down your ponytail. Jimmy will want to talk with you and then everyone wants you to sing, okay?"

It be like time sped up and den I be walking through dis door after Mr. Kimmel be saying, "Welcome Beth Moss please!"

Der were a crowd of people standing and applauding. He be holding my hand and he pointed to dis chair and I sat.

He said, Welcome Beth!

I be saying, "Thank you Mister Kimmel, Mrs. Kimmel be so nice to me. She be mama and your kids. I be praying for little Billy, all my heart."

He got up and walked around and hugged me. Then he sat back down again.

He said, "You fascinate me Beth, you are fast as all get out, you sing like an angel, how did you get to Holy Names Academy in Seattle?"

I be taking a deep breath and said, "I be Bill and Lola Moss's daughter born in Bossier City, Louisiana, right next to Shreveport. Daddy died in a battery factory fire I eleven, Mama never got over it really starved to death. I be stealing food from grocery store when dey caught me. I be eighty seven pounds, bout ten months ago."

"I be saved by the nuns at Holy Names, specially Sister Mary and Sister Mary Clare.

She be coon ass like me, but from Galveston."

He said, "Beth won four races last Friday and Saturday. Two hundred meters, four hundred meters on Friday, then eight hundred meters and five thousand meters on Saturday, is that right Beth?"

I nodded yes.

"She won all of them setting or breaking one record or another right Beth?"

I nodded again.

"All of these are on our website, but I want you to watch this girl run this last one, the five thousand meter one.

The people be watching as I be in last place by end of second lap. He asked, "How were you doing right here Beth, " he paused da video.

"Not be doing good, legs tight, cramps in ribs, den I heard dis boy in my head singing dis song, I never heard," I sang it out loud, "When I find myself in times of trouble Mother Mary comes to me Speaking words of wisdom Let it be And in my hour of darkness She is standing right in front of me Speaking words of wisdom Let it be"

"How were you then?"

"Pain gone but not feeling strong."

The video kept going, it was lap eleven and he said, "How about here?"

"I be singing Gloria."

Then it was the last lap and he said, "And now?"

"I be seeing my daddy and mama as dey danced to Ry Cooder."

The video be showing me lunging and da audience erupted as I won.

He said, "Beth will you sing for us?"

I said, "Yes Mr. Kimmel," I stood up and started singing Josephine and der was a boy playing da accordion and I be singing wit my heart seeing da crowd swaying. Dey went nuts when I's done.

Den der be some noise to my right and Mrs. Kimmel was pushing mama in a wheel chair and she had a mask on and and Sister Mary was be there and I rushed over and be hugging mama and I be so happy.

"Sister Mary Clare had a scare this morning, some afib issues, but she's fine now. "

He went on and said, "Beth and sisters thank you for coming. One more thing Beth, who is this big strong young man helping you, " the video showing me being carried off."

I be blushing and bit my lip and said, "Dat be Teddy Benedict, he be a baseball player for da Huskies. He be good looking boy don't you think?"

I felt dis arm around my shoulder and it be Teddy. I jumped up in his arms and buried my head on his chest and I be crying.

End Gloria I think they got your number.
