Le premier jour de mai
C’que j’donnerai ma mie

Une perdriole qui va, qui vient, qui vole
Que j’donnerai ma mie charmante
Le deuxime jour de mai
C’que j’donnerai ma mie
Sera
Deux tourterelles
Une perdriole qui va, qui vient, qui vole
Que j’donnerai ma mie charmante
Le troisime jour de mai
C’que je donnerai ma mie
Sera
Trois chiens courants
Deux tourterelles
Une perdriole qui va, qui vient, qui vole
Que j’donnerai ma mie charmante
