Lyrics: Anon

Un laboureur, au premier chant du coq
(Coquericoq), sur son labeur se rue.
En labourant plante charrue et soc
Si très avant que peut tirer charrue.
Moreau derrière hennit et bayard rue.
"Hau hure" dit il de bon grace,
"Tirez tout doux car cette terre est grasse".
Après ce coup épandra la sémence.
"Encore un coup" dit une jeune garce,
"Ha", dit il, "lors pas n'a fait que commence".

So at cockcrow (cockadoodle),
This ploughman sets about his work
With plough and coulter,
Up front, to pull the plough.
Dobbin behind whinnies, and the nag kicks out.
"Head up", he cajoles,
"Pull very gently, 'cos the going is heavy".
After this task, he scatters the seed.
"Do it some more" says this young hussy
"Huh", says he, "I've only just started".
