Que de joie et de bonheur,
Je ressens dans mon cœur,
De me voir aujourd'hui près de vous.
Mère chérie, je vous dois de ma vie,
Tout-es les instants les plus doux.
[Refrain] :
Lorsque dans mon berceau vous me chantiez dodo,
Je n'étais alors qu'un tout petit enfant,
Qui vous a causé bien des tourments.
Et j'ai dû sans le vouloir,
Faire blanchir vos cheveux noirs.
Ah ! je voudrais un jour,
Vous rendre un peu d'amour,
Ange de mon berceau.
Si les mamans pouvaient,
Comment elles le voudraient,
Garder leurs enfants toujours petits.
Les voir grandir et puis un jour partir,
C'est leur plus cruel souci.

Interview is one in a series of six conducted between 1995-01-09 and 1995-12-06 as an effort to document the French language song repertoire of Gagné.
“Depuis plus de trois cents ans” (“For more than three hundred years”) is a 1932 song written by Gaspé-born Montreal singer, songwriter, jaw harp, harmonica and fiddle player Mary Travers Bolduc (known affectionately to her audiences as “Madame Bolduc” or simply “La Bolduc”), titled “As-tu vu l’éclipse?” commemorating a solar eclipse which occurred on August 31, 1932. The verse has the same melody as another Bolduc song, “Le voleur de poule” which La Bolduc recorded in 1939 on the Starr label. Ah!
Madame Bolduc did not record “As-tu vu l’éclipse?” but she did apparently sing it in public, either on the radio or during one of her many tours with the Troupe du bon vieux temps, a vaudeville-style touring group which toured in Quebec and Franco-American New England in the 1930s. Alberta Gagné learned this song from one of her cousins.
","For over 300 years, we have heard experts say that an eclipse would occur in 1932; at four in the afternoon, it was as dark as night; the lights were on, everyone started to shout. What was the best was to see the animals: the little birds in their nests thought it was nighttime; all the hens took their perches; when the sun returned, the rooster began to crow. There were some who were undone, who began to weep, when they lost their nerve to see the sun eclipse. When darkness came, they were nearly dead with fear, I tell you that it wasn’t long, they were making their act of contrition. There were those with their heads up looking into the sky, with their piece of smoked glass; their faces were all filthy. They got a sprain and came home dizzy; from all that looking skywards, they no longer see clearly. Ah! I tell you in Sorel, people swarmed in like cockroaches; some were on boats, on roofs, on hillsides. When the moon saw this, she said to the sun: “Don’t show up”. It began to get dark; and she said: “Try to catch up with me.”",,,"VFC1998-0007 Martha Pellerin Collection. TC1998-1071 interview with Alberta Gagné.

Depuis plus de trois cents ans qu'on entendait dire les savants
Que l'eclipse doit avoir lieu et en mille neuf cent trente deux
A quatr' heure d'l'apres-midi Il faisait noir comme la nuit
Les lumieres sont allumees pi l'monde sont mis a crier
As-tu vu l'eclipse, l'eclipse et puis l'eclipse
Tout le monde sont sorti par les portes Di les chassis
As-tu vu l'eclipse, l'eclipse et puis l'eclipse
Le soleil a disparu puis on crovait qui s'montrait ulus
Ce qui avait de plus beau C'etait de voir les animaux
Les 'tits oiseaux dans leur lit Ils pensaient qu' c'etait la nuit
Quand la noirceur fut arrivee toutes les poules sont juchees
Quand le soleil s'est montre le coq s'est mis a chanter
As-tu vu l'eclipse, l'eclipse et puis l'eclipse
Tout le monde sont sorti par les portes pi les chassis
As-tu vu l'eclipse, l'eclipse et puis l'eclipse
Le soleil a disparu puis on crovait qui s'montrait Dlus
Y en avait decourages qui se sont mis a pleurer
Lors que les nerfs les ont pognes Lorsque l'eclipse fut arrivee
Quand ils ont vu la noirceur ils sont presque tout' mort de peur
Je vous dis qu'ca pas ete long ils ont dit l'acte de contrition
As-tu vu l'eclipse, l'eclipse et puis l'eclipse
Tout le monde sont sorti par les portes pi les chassis
As-tu vu l'eclipse, l'eclipse et puis l'eclipse
Le soleil a disparu puis on croyait qui s'montrait plus
Y en avait la tete en l'air qui regardait dans les airs
Avec un morceau de vitres fumees Avec des airs tout barbouilles
Y ont attrape l'torticoli qui sont venu tout etourdi
A force de regarder en l'air Depuis c'temps-la qui vove pas clair
As-tu vu l'eclipse, l'eclipse et puis l'eclipse
Tout le monde sont sorti par les portes pi les chassis
As-tu vu l'eclipse, l'eclipse et puis l'eclipse
Le soleil a disparu puis on croyait qui s'montrait plus
AH je vous dis qu'a Sorel Y avait du monde comme des coquerelles
Y en avait sur les bateaux Sur les toits sur les coteaus
Quand la lune a vu cela Dit au soleil tu t'montra pas
Y a commence a faire noir pi a dit asseye a m'avoir
As-tu vu l'eclipse, l'eclipse et puis l'eclipse

Through Raspberry Lane
I chanced for to meet
With a mistress of fame
The oak
One day [Atwood starts over] one
[Atwood sings to himself quietly, MacArthur suggests the version he is singing differs from that which he remembers]
Once as I was walking
Through Raspberry Lane
I chanced for to meet
With a mistress of fame
The oak
One day
[Atwood continues singing to self]
One day I was walking through Raspberry Lane
I chanced for to meet with a mistress of fame
For the oak [Atwood: ""Now I get it""] is a pretty plant and tree
Are now growing green
In the North Amerikee
'Tis home dearie home
And home it shall be
The oak [Atwood stumbles] the oak and the aloe
In our own country
It was near midnight
And what could he want more
When she showed him the way
To the old tavern door
He called for a candle
To light him to bed
And likewise a napkin
To bind around his head
'Tis home dearie home
And home it shall be
'Tis now growing green
In North Amerikee
But earl
But early next morning
This sailor grew bold
And into her apron
Threw a handful of gold
The gold it did glitter
Which dazzled her eye
She said ""Won't you marry me""
""Oh no"" said he ""not I""
Home dearie home
And home it shall be
[Atwood stumbles over this line] The oak and the aloe
In our own country
You [Atwood backtracks] so keep yourself single
Until the next spring
And hear the larks whistle
And the nightengale sing
My ship is now waiting
And in it I must go
To my own friend
And the friends that I know
Now here luck to the sailor
Who roam the [Atwood backtracks] who roam o'er the sea
Don't wed a foreign lady
But keep yourself free
With your sky [Atwood backtracks, slightly changing melody] with your sky blue jacket and wide tarpaulin on
You reign the salt sea
As I often have done
[MacArthur suggests that he might have sung an ""expurgated version""]

Lord Thomas was a bold forester
And a chaser of the king's deer
Fair Eleanor was a find woman
Lord Thomas loved her dear
""Come riddle my riddle dear mother"" he said
""And riddle us both in one
Whether I shall marry with fair Eleanor
Or and let the brown girl alone""
""The brown girl has got money
Fair Eleanor she has none
Therefore I charge thee on my blessing
To bring the brown girl home""
And it befell on a holiday
And many more do beside
Lord Thomas went to see fair Eleanor
That should have been his bride
And when he came to fair Eleanor's bower
He knocked at the ring
Then who was so ready as fair Eleanor
To let Lord Thomas in
""What news what news Lord Thomas"" she said
""What news has thou brough unto me""
""I've come to bid you to my wedding
And that is sad news for thee""
""O God forbid Lord Thomas"" she said
""That such thing should be done
I thought to have been the bride myself
And thou to have been the bridegroom""
""Come riddle my riddle dear mother"" she said
""And riddle it all in one
Whether I shall go to Lord Thomas wedding
Or whether I let it alone""
""There's many that are our friends daughter
And many that are our foes
Therefore I charge you on my blessing
To Lord Thomas wedding don't go""
""There's many that are our friends mother
If a thousand were our foes
Betide me life betide me death
To Lord Thomas wedding I'll go""
She clothed herself in gallant attire
And her merry men all were seen
And as she rode through every place
They took her to be some queen
When she came to Lord Thomas gate
She knocked at the ring
And who was so ready as Lord Thomas
To let fair Eleanor in
He took her by the lily-white hand
And lead through the hall
And he sat her in the noblest chair
Among the ladies all
""Is this your bride"" fair Eleanor said
""Methinks she looks wondrous brown
Thou mightest had as fair a woman
As 'er trod on the ground""
""Despise her not"" Lord Thomas he said
""Despise her not unto me
For better do I love her little finger
Than all you of her body""
That brown girl had a little pen knife
White was both keen and sharp
Betwixt the short rib and the long
She pricked fair Eleanor's heart
""Christ now save me Lord Thomas"" she said
""Methinks you look wondrous wan
Thou used to look as good a color
As ever sun shone on""
""O art thou blind Lord Thomas"" she said
""Or can't thou not very well see
O dost thou not see mine own heart's blood
Run trickling down my knee""
""O dig my grave"" Lord Thomas replied
""Dig it both wide and deep
And lay fair Eleanor by my side
And the brown girl at my feet""
Lord Thomas had a sword by his side
And he walked about the hall
[Atwood stumbles, then continues] He cutted bride's head from off her shoulders
And flung it against the wall
He set his sword upon the ground
And the point against his heart
There never was two lovers true
That sooner did depart
And out of his grave grew a bright red rose
And out of hers grew a briar
They grew up to the tall steeple top
And withered away together

On Springfield Mountain there did dwell
A pretty youth I knew full well
'Twas elder Merritt's only son
A phantom youth near twenty one
On Monday morning he did go
Into the meadow for to mow
He had not mowed quite round the field
When a poison serpent bit his heel
For he recovered received to see his fatal wound
He dropped his scythe upon the ground
And straight for home was his intent
He cried alound all as he went
His friends around him all did hear
And none of them to him came near
Thinking he did some unknown call
He quite quite alone was doom did fall
He laid him down composed to rest
And crossed his arms upon his breast
His mouth and eyes were closen fast
And time and thus poor lad he slept at last
As as dark and darksome night was coming on
The father went to see his son
And then his dearest boy was found
Dead as a stone upon the ground
No consolation did he did he did
Not consolation did her him leave
That angels might his soul receive
He could but know that he was gone
His hopes and pride his only son
