Lyrics: Anon

Pilons l'orge, pilons là,
Mon père m'y maria,
Pilons l'orge, pilons là,
À un villain m'y donna,
Tirez-vous ci, tirez-vous là,
Qui de rien ne me doua,
Tirez-vous ci, tirez vous là,
Pilons l'orge, pilons là,
Puis il dit qu'il m'y batt'ra,
Tirez-vous ci, tirez vous là,
Pilons l'orge, pilons là.

We pound the barley, we pound it so.
So my dad marries me off,
We pound the barley, we pound it so,
Push it here, push it there,
He gives me to this chav,
Push it here, push it there,
Who endows me with zilch,
Push it here push it there,
And then says he'll give me a slap,
We pound the barley, we pound it so,
Push it here, push it there.
