Lyrics: Anon

En tour la fête Saint Martin,
Jenin fit tuer son porceau;
Et le fouailler, au fin matin,
De paille ardente à gros morceaux.
Sa femme après dans son grand seau
Les tripes mit. Elle va loin,
Disant: "Pour le friand morceau
J'aurai l'andouille et vous le groin".

So when St Martin's Day comes round,
Jenin has his pig slaughtered;
And, at the morning's end, sears it
With smouldering straw, in large gobbetts.
After this, his wife puts the tripe
In her large pail. Then she walks away,
Saying: "For the choice bit
I'll have the chitterlings and you'll have the snout".
