by Marcel Temporal (1881 - 1964)

Le chant de la tisseuse
Language: French (Français) 
Je tisse le lin l'alfa le cotton
Chenille pour moi dispense ta peine
Chenille pour moi file ton cocon
Et bon berger tond pour que j'ai sa laine
Et bon berger tond tontaine tontaine
Et bon berger tond tontaine tonton
Et bon berger tond pour moi ton mouton.
Quel joli métier j'ai la
Tac a tac file file
Quel joli métier j'ai la
Brocard ou damas
Quel joli métier j'ai la
Fil a file file
Quel joli métier j'ai la
Vive le bon drap.
Navigue naviot petite navette
Tac tac point d'ecrouette,
Navigue navire au long du métier
Tac tac le jour entier
Tac entre les fils file
Sois habile sois docile
Tac, entre les fils file
Tac esquive esquif
La trame qui tend comme des récifs
Ses fils inégaux et ne les romps point
Ses fils inégaux qui forment le point
Quel joli métier j'ai la . . .
