Transcription: 
Partial transcription by Barry Ancelet La ville des Manteau Edius Naquin La ville des Manteau ah oui, grand Dieu, quelle est si belle, Elle est garnie de tous ces Louisianais, avec tous ces braves soldats. Bonaparte a su mais fabriquer sa batterie nationale C’est Bonaparte qui nous envoie ici, c’ est pour apaiser vos canons. Vous allez dire à Bonaparte en se moquant de lui, on se moque de lui le jour comme de la nuit mais oui, la nuit comme de le jour. On vous compterait chacun cinq mille francs si vous voulez apaiser vos canons. Vous allez dire à Bonaparte en se moquant de lui, on se moque de lui le jour comme de la nuit mais ouais, la nuit comme de le jour. Allons, enfants, courage, La ville est au pillage Allons, enfants, courage, La ville est au pillage Ils ont tant tiré, Ils ont tant se batronné que la jolie ville a renversé. Si je serais président mais de l’États-Unis Je voudrais que le pays changerait de parti Allez jusqu’à l’Europe, allez à l’Espagne Allons voir rien pus que le drapeau français Chant d’ivrogne Edius Naquin Oh dis donc moi, méchant ivrogne, Tu penses donc dans mes soutrains Te voilà saoul comme un ivrogne, Oh non, enfant désestre Mais non, ma chère femme, on n’y pense donc pas Moi et ton bon ami, Colin En revenant de faire affaire On avait bu aucun petit brin Chacun trente-six filets Ça c’est ne pas trop boire Et oh dis donc moi, méchant ivrogne, Tu m’as mis dans la misère Quatre enfants dessur les bras Dis-moi quoi il faut faire Oh, ma chère femme, on n’y pense donc pas Si je t’ai mis dans la misère Quatre enfants dessur les bras Il faut les flanquer parterre Et oh dis donc moi, méchant ivrogne, T’as tout vendu mes bois de lit Mes couvertures, ensuite mes draps Dis-moi donc quoi il faut faire Oh, ma chère femme, on n’y pense donc pas Si j’ai vendu tes bois de lit Tes couvertures, ensuite tes draps C’était craint de les puces Là l’homme et la femme s’avaient manière compris. Et là il y avait une poule qui couvait sur douze oeufs. Les oeufs se vendaient quinze sous la douzaine. Il dit, “Vieille,” il dit, “coute,” il dit, “moi, je vas prendre quatre oeufs, et je vas aller m’acheter un paquet de tabac, le Black Eagle.” Il dit, “Ça vaut cinq sous le paquet, ça fait,” il dit, “je vas m’acheter…” Mais a dit, “Je fume moi aussi.” Et a dit, “Prends quatres oeufs, et achète moi un paquet.” Bein, mais, il dit, “D’abord c’est ça,” il dit, “on va pas quitter la poule couvait sur quatres oeufs.” Il dit, “On va prendre les quatre-z-autres,” il dit, “on va acheter pour cinq sous de candi pour les petits.” Ça fait, il a été, il a acheté ça, et quand il est revenu, a dit, “Coute, vieux.” A dit, “c’est autant de finir là,” a dit, “moi, j’ai manière faim, et la poule va pus couver asteur.” A dit, “On va faire un gombo.” Mais il dit, “Moi, je veux.” Ils ont fini avec la poule. Quand je meurs, je voudrais que l’on m’enterre Sous la cave là où le vin Et le pied gauche contre la muraille Et la bouche sous le bon vin Et en tout cas qu’il tomberait une goutte Que je boive à ma santé Oh chère chérie, tu m’as courtisé Tu as volé toute ma réflexion T’as eu mon coeur et de toute bonne foie Mais malgré tes fautes, moi je t’aime toujours Fouillez la fosse et fouillez la fond Et fouillez la de ma profondeur Oh à mes pieds, mais les os croisés A ma poitrine, une tourterelle Oh à ma tête, une pierre en marbre C’est pour faire voir au monde C’est que je suis mort, c’est de l’amour de chère chérie La messe noire Supper group Pauvre Monsieur Couleau, il est mort sur le dos dans mon clos en marchant sur mon dos. Il y a sur le sec et zéro ou le bar ou le cardinau. Baissez vos têtes, quatre couillons, tandis je bois mon verre Mets mes bouteilles de bouche et je vas la boire Arrête un peu… Mon fils-de-putain… Arrête, je ne suis pas fini Contuine… Arrête, coquin, merdeux, je suis pas fini Attends, je veux dire autre chose Dis, cul. Ouais, ouais, faut pas que tu m’insultes Oh Léus Fontenot Oh a pro nobis, hourah, hourah, toi. Hourah, ton cul Respire toujours Attends un peu Ecoutez Baissez vos têtes, tas de couillons, tandis je bois mon verre. La Sainte Marie a pendu ses caneçons sur le pêcher Le vagabond Et quelle tristesse, mais dans notre maison Mais c’est avoir un homme qui est vagabond Toute la semaine, il est saoul Mais pas le pouvoir de se gagner un cinq sous Mais oui, madame, mais vous seule amante Mais bien mal à propos Mais boire et manger, c’est ça les plaisirs Aller voir les filles, mais c’est ça la pratique C’est ça la pratique, mais de tous ces jeunes gens C’est ça la ruine mais dans notre maison Well, les autres fois, les femmes se promenaient à pied. Ça passait en travers de les savanes. Et un jour, une était partie se promener chez le voisin, et alle a passé en travers de la savane. Et i y avait un bull, et il a pris la courir. Elle a parti à se sauver. Et quand alle a passé en travers les fils, son step-in a resté accroché. Et là i y avait un bougre plus loin là bas, i dit, “Hey, madame,” i dit euh, “votre step-in a resté accroché dans la barrière.” A dit, “De hell avec le step-in. J’aime mieux perdre mon step-in qu’avoir un veau.” Une fois, i y avait un bougre, il aimait boire. Il était manière comme moi. Et chaque fois il allait en quelque part, i buvait jusqu’à i se saoulait. Quand il s’en revenait, la femme était de mauvaise humeur, a commençait à le jurer. Et quand a le jurait assez, i partait encore. Là alle a dit à ses voisines un jour, a dit, “Moi, je sus assez malheureuse avec mon mari.” Mais ça dit, “Quoi faire?” Mais a dit, “Chaque fois i va en quelque part, i se saoule, i revient saoul.” A dit, “Moi, je peux pas m’empêcher de le jurer, et quand je le jure assez, i part encore.” Ah mais, ça dit, “Vieille, faut pas tu le jures quand i revient saoul. Putôt que le jurer, putôt que le jurer, faut tu te couches avec et tu l’embrasses et tu le caresses et tu le flattes et là il gonera pas.” Ça fait, un soir, il a revenu saoul, alle a décidé de le flatter, et le caresser et l’embrasser. Et t-à l’heure, il a pris à grogner. A dit, “Qui i y a, vieux?” A dit, “Tu aimes pas ça?” A dit, “Tu veux j’arrête?” “Non,” i dit, “tu peux go head, parce que,” i dit, “quand je vas m’en aller à la maison, je vas attraper hell quand même.” Ça icitte, c’est une tite histoire, ça. C’était pour deux voisins. I n-avait un voisin, il avait pas des petits. Et l’autre voisin, il avait des petits. Ça fait, son voisin demande à son voisin, i dit, “Euh, comment tu fais, toi, pour avoir des petits?” “Ah, mais,” i dit, “je vas te montrer,” i dit, “comment tu fais pour avoir des petits.” I dit, “Coute,” i dit, “à soir,” i dit, “fais ta femme prendre un bon bain,” i dit, “dedans de l’eau,” i dit, “qu’est juste comme i faut. Pas trop chaude et pas trop froide.” Là i dit, “Asteur,” i dit, “qui faudra a fait?” Là i dit, “Qu’a va pis qu’alle arrange le lit et qu’a met un drap et pis qu’a le met raide raide dessus le lit. Là qu’a prend l’autre drap, pis qu’a le met jusqu’à la moitié du lit.” Et i dit, “Asteur, après ça?” “Bein, mais,” i dit, “tu vas mettre la lampe,” i dit, “dim, beaucoup dim.” Là i dit, “Asteur, qui faut je fais?” “Mais,” i dit, “quitte moi connaître,” i dit, “appelle-moi,” i dit, “je vas venir carrément.” J’ai traversé la mer et les montagnes Pour attendre les rossignols chanter Les rossignols dans leur jolie chanson Ils ont beaucoup un beau langage, ouais donc Dans leur joli langage,
