Lyrics: Anon

Un vert galant, garni d'arc et de trousse,
Preux et hardi, portant son arc bandé
Chassant aux bois, pensant voir bête rousse,
Près d'un connin son arc a deacutebandé.
La belle y vint qui ce coup regretta
Disant: "Ami un autre sécret as;
Laissez aller le connin gris sauvage;
Bandez votre arc et vous mettez à point
À mon connin. Ne craignez faire outrage,
Frappez dedans, et ne l'épargnez point".

A jolly huntsman equipped with bow and quiver,
Brave and bold, carrying his bow drawn,
Hunting in the woods, thinks he's spotted a young boar,
And looses his bow at a coney.
Along comes the beauty who deprecated this shot,
Saying: "Mate, here's another confidence;
Let he wild grey coney be;
Draw your bow and take aim
at my coney. Don't flinch at causing hurt,
Beat it and don't spare the rod".
