Lizette Ma Cheré Amie
Language: English 
Lisette, to quitte la plaine
Mo perdu bonheur a mouin;
Yeux a mouin ‘semblé’ fontaine
Dipuis mo pas miré tou.

Le jour quand mo coupé canne
Mo ponce l’amour a mouin ;
La nuit quand mo dans cabanne
Dans dormi mo voir tou.

Si to allé dans la ville
To trouvé bon candio
Qui gaignin pour trompé fille
Bouche doux passé sirop.

To va croi’ li bien sincère
Pendant que li ein cocaïne ;
Ce un serpent qui connain fait
Comme un rat pou trompé’ bien!

Lisette, ma chère amie!
Lisette, to quitté la plaine
Mo perdu bonheur a mouin.
