Le corsaire le Grand Coureur
Est un navir' de malheur
Quand il s'enva en croisière
Pour aller chasser l'Anglais,
Le vent, la mer et la guerre
Tournent contre le Français!
Allons les gars, gai, gai!
Allons les gars, gaiement!
Il est parti de Lorient
Avec belle mer et bon vent
Il cinglait bâbord amure
Naviguant comme un poisson;
Un grain tombe sur la mature,
V' la le corsaire en ponton!
Allons les gars, gai, gai!
Allons les gars, gaiement!
Pour finir ce triste sort,
Nous venons périr au port
Dans cette affreuse misère,
Quand chacun c'est vu perdu,
Chacun, selon sa manière
S'est sauvé comme il a pu!
Allons les gars, gai, gai!
Allons les gars, gaiement!
Nos prises au bout de six mois
Ont pu se monter à trois
Un navir' plein de patates
Plus qu'à moitié chaviré
Un Deuxième de savates
Et le dernier de fumier.
Allons les gars, gai, gai!
Allons les gars, gaiement!
Si l'histoire du Grand Coureur
A su vous toucher le cœur
Ayez donc belles manières
Et payez-nous largement,
Du vin, du rack, de la bière
Et nous serons tous contents!
Allons les gars, gai, gai!
Allons les gars, gaiement!
