J’ai fait suer un chêne, lirlonfa malurette,
Son auberg j’ai enganté, lirlonfa maluré.
Son auberg et sa toquante, lirlonfa malurette,
Et ses attach ’s de cés, lirlonfa maluré.

Ma largu’ part pour Versailles, lirlonfa malurette,
Aux pieds d’ sa Majesté, lirlonfa maluré.
Elle lu fonce un babillard, lirlonfa malurette,
Pour m’ fair’ defourrailler, lirlonfa maluré.
VI.
Ah! si j’en défourraille, lirlonfa malurette,
Ma largue j’entiferai, lirlonfa maluré.
J’li ferai porter fontange, lirlonfa malurette,
Et souliers galuchés, lirlonfa maluré.
VII.
Mais grand dabe qui s’fâche lirlonfa malurette,
Dit: par mon caloquet, lirlonfa maluré,
J’li ferai danser une danse, lirlonfa malurette,
Où il n’y a pas de plancher, lirlonfa maluré.
