[Dixielandjazz] Translation of French

[Mike Durham]

"Le Fossoyeur" (The Gravedigger) by Bechet is the same tune as the one 
written by Georges Brassens, thanks to Michel; for clearing that one up. And 
the "other half" of Bechet's recording is a different tune altogether. 
Sounds like a folk song? Be gratefull if anyone can help with this! I only 
have the Bechet on a tape, so no composer credits.......

Mike.
