about

Traditional Jersey Folksong

lyrics

Jean, gros Jean, mathyit sa fil'ye,
Grôsse et grâsse et bein habil'ye,
À un marchand dé chabots,
Radîndgette et radîngot!
Pour dînner il' eûtent des pais,
Entre quat' i' n'eûtent qué trais,
Ah! dévinner si ch'est trop,
Radîndgette et radîngot!


Pour soupé il' eûtent des preunes,
Entre quat' i' n'eûtent qué ieune,
La couothée d'un êtchèrbot,
Radîndgette et radîngot!
I' fîtent faithe eun-é couochette
De deux sés buts dé bûtchette,
Et l'ouothilyi d'un fagot,
Radîndgette et radîngot!

I' fîtent faithe des courtinnes,
Criyant qué ch'tait mousselinne,
Mais ché 'tait calamîngot,
Radîndgette et radîngot!
Quand l'sé vînt pouor la couochade,
Les pouèrs allaient quat' à quat',
Et les puches allaient lé trot,
Radîndgette et radîngot!

Dans chu liet il' eûtent du fanne,
Et pus tard vîntent douze êfants,
Nou dit treize éthaient 'tait trop,
Radîndgette et radîngot!
