Lai treue guéreille
Language: Bourguignon 
Lorsque j'étais chez mon père
Moi, petite Jeanneton,
Au lieu d'aller à l'école,
Lon tur' lon ture lure,
On m'envoie les cochons garder,
Lonturelé.

J'étais encor trop jeunette :
J'oubliai mon déjeuner.
Un des valets de mon père,
Lon tur' lon ture lure,
Qui s'en vint me l'apporter,
Lonturelé.

Le valet a pris sa toûte
S'est mis-t-à la faire aller.
Tous les cochons à la ronde
Lon tur' lon ture lure,
Se sont mis-t-à y danser,
Lonturelé.

Sauf une vieill' truie guéreille
Qui n'a pas voulu danser.
L'goret la prit par l'oreille,
Lon tur' lon ture lure,
Par ma fi ! tu vas danser,
Lonturelé.

L'goret la prit par l'oreille
Par ma fi ! tu vas danser.
- Que veux-tu donc que je danse ?
Lon tur' lon ture lure,
Je suis prête à cochonner !
Lonturelé.
