Chico Haricot is the persons name.
The guy is singing about a person.
What I wrote was:
Chico Haricot lives in her cabin in the south south west of Lousiana,
She wears wooden shoes, and eats pecans,
She has necklaces on her neck, hands filled with rings,
And real little knees.
That's not a good translation. It just makes more sense in French.
