Blanc farinier, donnez‑moi votre fille

Le Charbonnier
Blanc farinier, donnez-moi votre fille;
Donnez-la-moi, je la trouve gentille,
Et nous ferons, et nous ferons,
Et nous ferons une bonne maison.

Le Farinier
Noir charbonnier, tu n'auras pas ma fille,
Je marierais, la drôle de famille!,
Sac de farine, sac de farine,
Sac de farine avec sac de charbon,
Non non non non non,
Tu n'auras pas Suzon.

Mon ami, tu n'as donc jamais vu ta mine!
Car ma fille et toi, c'est la nuit et le jour.
Suzon a le teint plus blanc que ma farine,
Et le tien, mon cher, est plus noir que mon four!
Ton seul aspect effarouche l'amour,
Oui, ton aspect effarouche l'amour!
