from Volkslieder (Folksongs)

Is sont trois cornemuseux
Language: French (Français) 
Is sont trois cornemuseux
Qui traversont la ville,
Ramenant les épouseux
De l'église chez eux.

Les musettes qu'ont de blancs ribans,
En leur honneur entonnent,
Tous leux vieux airs, leux plus jolis chants
A la joi' des passants.

Les époux sont assortis,
Is sont de riche mine,
Ben pris dans leux biaux hébits,
Chacun les applaudit.

A vous toutes vendra paré jour,
Car, mes charmantes belles,
Au mariage conduit l'amour
Chaque fille à son tour.

Is sont trois cornemuseux
Qui parcouront la ville,
Proumenant les épouseux
Et la noce anvec zeux.

Confirmed with Germain Laisnel de la Salle, Mœurs et Coutumes du Berry.

Note: the consistent use in the original text of the word "Is" as a variant of "Ils", which would be used in contemporary French, may indicate that the text is from the Picard / modern Ch'timi region, which uses this form.
