Oh good wine, where did you grow?

Language: English after the French (Français)

Oh good wine, good wine, good wine,
Where did you grow? Where did you grow?
In this twisted little wood.
You will sprinkle me, Lord,
[With] hyssop, my God, lovely wine!
You will wash me!

Tell us then who planted you,
Oh Lord, oh Lord,
It is this good father, Noah…
You will sprinkle me, Lord, etc.

It is this good father, Noah,
Oh Lord, oh Lord,
Let us all drink to his health!
You will sprinkle me, Lord, etc.

Let us all drink to his health,
Oh Lord, oh Lord,
That he may come again, planting…
You will sprinkle me, Lord, etc.

That he may come again, planting,
Oh Lord, oh Lord,
For those who do not have enough!
You will sprinkle me, Lord, etc.
