Gentil coquelicot (Pretty Poppy)

J'ai descendu dans mon jardin
J'ai descendu dans mon jardin
Pour y cueillir du romarin.

Gentil coqu'licot mesdames
Gentil coqu'licot nouveau

J' n'en avais pas cueilli trois brins
J' n'en avais pas cueilli trois brins
Qu'un rossignol vint sur ma main.

Gentil coqu'licot mesdames
Gentil coqu'licot nouveau

Il me dit trois mots en latin
Il me dit trois mots en latin
Que les hommes ne valent rien.

Gentil coqu'licot mesdames
Gentil coqu'licot nouveau

Des dames il ne me dit rien
Des dames il ne me dit rien
Mais des d'moiselles beaucoup de bien.

Gentil coqu'licot mesdames
Gentil coqu'licot nouveau
