Quand j'ai sôti de mon villaige
Language: Bourguignon 
Quand j'ai sorti de mon village,
J'avais quinze ans :
J'étais habillé d'pied en cap,
Comme un galant.

J'avais un beau chapeau de paille,
Long et pointu,
Que le curé de mon village
M'avait vendu.

J'avais une bell' cravate,
Longue et carrée,
Que Marie, ma tante Guillmette,
M'avait baillée.

J'avais un'bell' veste rouge,
Des plus jolies,
Je ressemblais un capitaine
D'infanterie.

J'avais une bell' culotte,
Toute de peau,
Que j'avais trouvée toute neuve
Dans un cuveau.

Quand j'étais vers ma mie Claudine,
Rien que nous deux,
Rien que nous deux,
Mais rien que nous deux...
Je lui disais que nos pigeonnes
Faisaient des œufs !
