VALSE DE CREVE DE FAIM (The Starvation Waltz). Cajun, Waltz. USA, southwestern Louisiana. E Minor. Standard tuning (fiddle). One part. Raymond Francois (1990) states the song is really a blues tune, though played at a faster tempo, as does Hobo Bertrand, it can be danced like a waltz. A related song is Leopold Francois' "Working Blues."
