Trois Vieilles Chansons d'amour

by Paul Gautier

1. Si le Roy m'avait donné  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: French (Français) 
Si le roi m’avait donné
Paris, sa grand’ville,
Et qu’il me fallût quitter
L’amour de ma mie,
Je dirais au roi Henri :
Reprenez votre Paris ;
J’aime mieux ma mie, ô gué
J’aime mieux ma mie.
