lyrics

Quand j'étais jeune à dix-huit ans,
J'étais beau et galant o gué.

Les amoureuses venaient me voir,
Le soir dedans ma chambre o gué.

La plus jeune des amoureuses,
M'apporta une orange o gué.

L'orange est tombée sur mon pied,
Elle a cassé ma jambe o gué.

On fit venir un médecin
De Paris ou de Nantes o gué.

Le médecin qui me soignait,
Voulut couper ma jambe o gué.

Non ma jambe ne sera pas coupée,
Car je vis de mes rentes o gué.
