Petit enfant qui courru dans la prairie;
Je m'en étais voir mignonette;
Je m'en été à jolie Rochelle;
Oh, par hasard de nous mariés;
Ils étions trois beaux ?? trois qui s'en alliont à faire l'amour;
J'ai passé devant la porte d'un moulin et le moulin virait;
L'enfer ce n'est pas trop terrible pour une jeune fille qui a tué son amant;
C'est dans Paris la qu'on aime la danse;
Nous voile tous à la table;
C'est un jeune marin qui partait pour la guerre;
L'orphelin du hameau;
C'était la fille du vieux compère et le garcon du vieux Saulnier qui voulaient s'y marier;
La chanson du mal de dents;
Je suis fille et fort jeune;
C'était une vieille bergère (rong ti la ride);
