Abstract
While returning from the baker’s, along the road I met one man on horseback and another on foot; the one on foot asked me: where will we sleep? In the usual house, two big, pretty girls by our sides; you have lied, frank horseman; you are going to sleep in the chicken house with two big turkeys by your sides.

Bing bang bang je m’en vais rouler
En filant ma quenouille
Hier au soir j’ai ete dance bing band 2 fous je m’en vais rouler
Dans mon chemin j’ai rencontre je me roule ou le 2 fois
Bing bang bang je m’en vais rouler en filant ma Quenouille
Un home a chechal et l’autre a pied
Celui a pied m’a demande ou irons-nous ce son coucher
A la maison d’acoutume
Deux belles grosses filles a nos cote
Tu as menti frank cavalier
A les fraises et les framboises du bon vin j’en ai bu
Croyez-moi belle villageoise
Jamais j’me suis tant plus
Tu couchera dans le ponlailler
Et des gros dindes a tes cote
En filant ma quenouille
Hier au soir j’ai ete dance bing band 2 fous je m’en vais rouler
Dans mon chemin j’ai rencontre je me roule ou le 2 fois
Bing bang bang je m’en vais rouler en filant ma Quenouille
