Ecoutez cette histoireQue l'on m'a racontée.Du fond de ma mémoire,Je vais vous la chanter.Elle se passe en Provence,Au milieu des moutons,Dans le sud de la France,Au pays des santons.Quand il vint au domaine,Y avait un beau troupeau.Les étables étaient pleinesDe brebis et d'agneaux.Marchant toujours en têteAux premières lueurs,Pour tirer sa charrette,Il mettait tout son cœur.Au temps des transhumances,Il s'en allait heureux,Remontant la Durance,Honnête et courageuxMais un jour,
de Marseille,Des messieurs sont venus.La ferme était bien vieille,Alors on l'a vendue.Il resta au village.Tout le monde l'aimait bien,Vaillant,
malgré son âgeEt malgré son chagrin.Image d'évangile,Vivant d'humilité,Il se rendait utileAuprés du cantonnier.Cette vie honorable,Un soir,
s'est terminée.Dans le fond d'une étable,Tout seul il s'est couché.Pauvre bête de somme,Il a fermé les yeux.Abandonne des hommes,Il est mort sans adieux.Mm mm mmm mm...Cette chanson sans gloireVous racontait la vie,Vous racontait l'histoireD'un petit âne gris...
