Je suis 'tit Jean Louis à Gabrielle,
Fille de Julie à Marie-Angelle.
Venu de Bromont en 1900
Pour travailler dans une factérie
À Massachusetts.
Et c'est pas étonnant que je suis fou maintenant
Entre l'église le dimanche et mon papa Léo.
Il rentrait le soir pour se coucher dans son char
Dans le seat en avant avec un bouteille de fort
À Massachusetts.
É ma mémère, É ma marraine,
Dansaient leur gigue dans la cuisine.
Y'a plus rien pour nous dans ce pays foutu.
Y'a plus rien, plus rien du tout
À Massachusetts.
À l'age de seize ans, j'ai quitté la maison,
Tourné le dos à tous ces enterrements,
Bande de vieux, bande de couillons,
C'est pas surprenant qu'on buvait autant,
À Massachusetts.
É ma mémère, É ma marraine,
Dansaient leur gigue dans la cuisine.
Y'a plus rien pour nous dans ce pays foutu.
Y'a plus rien, plus rien du tout
À Massachusetts.
My name is Jack and I'm turning my back
On pea soup in the kitchen and them Frenchies in the shack,
The future looks bright, that's why I'm getting drunk tonight,
Gonna find myself and Irishman and get into a fight,
À Massachusetts.
É ma mémère, É ma marraine,
Dansaient leur gigue dans la cuisine.
Y'a plus rien pour nous dans ce pays foutu.
Y'a plus rien, plus rien du tout
À Massachusetts.
