Sur la route de Louviers {x2}
Y avait un cantonnier {x2}
Et qui cassait des tas d'cailloux {x2}
Pour mettre sur le passage des roues.
Un' bell' dam' vint à passer {x2}
Dans un beau carross' doré {x2}
Et qui lui dit : {x2}
"Pauv' cantonnier {x2}
Et qui lui dit : "Pauv' cantonnier !
Tu fais un fichu métier ! "
Le cantonnier lui répond :
" Faut qu' j' nourrissions nos garçons
Car si j'roulions
Carross' comm' vous
Car si j'roulions carross' comm" vous
Je n'casserions pas d'cailloux !
Cette répons' se fait r'marquer
Par sa grande simplicité
C'est c'qui prov' que
Les malheureux
C'est c'qui prouv' que les malheureux
S'ils le sont, c'est malgré eux.
