Jean Leloup - I lost my baby
May 7th 2008 01:33
Jean Leloup is one of Quebec's most loved musicians, a wild and unusual character. Singing in French and English, he plays to packed, hysterical crowds at the Montreal venues.
One of the songs I heard most often was "I lost my baby", a Quebec classic that is played by everyone with a guitar on hot summer nights.
Jean Leloup retired himself a few years back, but returned to the stage under a different name, also publishing a book. A busy character, eh? His 2002 album, La Vallée des Réputations, was a collection of songs that crystallized my feelings about Quebec, especially when getting away from the city.
"I lost my baby" is one of those songs that finds a current and takes it away. There are endless cover version of it:

"I lost my baby
I lost my darling
I lost my friends
I lost my mind
Pour une fille d'Ottawa
Grandie à Ste-Foy
D'un père militaire
Et d'une belle fille qui fut sa mère
Qui écoutait du country
Entre deux caisses de bière
Et partait le samedi
Pour un lac de Hawkesbury
Rejoindre la grand-mère
And all the family...
And all the family..."
