Le vieil homme voulait chevaucher, N'avait pas de cheval : La vieille femme prit un bouc, Assit le vieil homme dessus, Le fit chevaucher. Le vieil homme voulait chevaucher, N'avait pas de bride; La vieille femme prit un bord de chemise Fit une bride pour le vieil homme, Le fit chevaucher. Le vieil homme voulait chevaucher, N'avait pas de chapeau ; La vieille femme prit un pot de gruau Fit un chapeau pour le vieil homme, Le fit chevaucher. Le vieil homme voulait chevaucher, N'avait pas de selle La vieille femme prit une feuille de tilleul La colla au vieil homme Le fit chevaucher.
