MDMD(8) Pirogues

[Doug Millison]

>243.30 `Pirogues' a general word for a canoe or open boat cf piragua

Hey, I grew up in southwest Louisiana and have paddled one of these --
nearly flat-bottomed, able to cruise in shallow water, marsh and swamp. And
perhaps we all know the song:

"Good-bye Joe, we got to go, me oh my-o,
we got to go row a pirogue down the bay-o."
        -"Jambalaya", Hank Williams
