Dans les prisons de Nantes
Y avait un prisonnier
Personne ne vint le "vouère"
Que la fille du geôlier
Un jour il lui demande
Et que dit-on de "moué" ?
On dit de vous en ville
Que vous serez pendu
{variante:
On dit de vous en ville
Que demain vous mourrez}
Mais s'il faut qu'on me pende
Déliez-moi les pieds
La fille était jeunette
Les pieds lui a délié
Le prisonnier alerte
Dans la Loire s'est jeté
{variante:
Le prisonnier alerte
Dans la Loire a sauté}
Dès qu'il fût sur les rives
Il se prit à chanter
Je chante pour les belles
Surtout celle du geôlier
Si je reviens à Nantes
Oui je l'épouserai
Dans les prisons de Nantes
Y avait un prisonnier
