from Volkslieder (Folksongs)

En revenant de Nantes
Language: French (Français) 
En revenant de Nantes
Il passait par Glisson 
Diguedon ma dondaine. . . .

Je m'en fus sur la place
Y avait des marchands 
Diguedon. . . . 

Ne vendaient pas grand chose
Vendaient des porillons
Diguedon. . . . 

J'en ach' ta un' douzaine 
Y en eut un quarton 
Diguedon. . . . 

J'savais point où les mettre 
Je les mis dans mes fonds
Diguedon. . . . 

Je m'en fus à la danse
Les porillons sautant
Diguedon. . . . 

Je relève les feuilles
De c'qu'il y a dans mes fonds
Diguedon. . . . 

C'étaient point des bêtises
C'étaient des porillons
Diguedon. . . .
