Quand j'étais chez mon père,
apprenti pastoureau,
il m'a mis dans la lande,
pour garder les troupiaux.
Troupiaux, troupiaux,
je n'en avais guère.
Troupiaux, troupiaux,
je n'en avais biaux.
Mais je n'en avais guère,
je n'avais qu'trois agneaux;
et le loup de la plaine
m'a mangé la plus biau.
Troupiaux, troupiaux...
Il était si vorace
n'a laissé que la piau,
n'a laissé que la queue,
pour mettre à mon chapiau.
Troupiaux, troupiaux...
Mais des os de la bête
me fis un chalumiau
pour jouer à la fête,
à la fêt' du hamiau.
Troupiaux, troupiaux...
Pour fair' danser l'village,
dessous le grandormiau,
et les jeun's et les vieilles,
les pieds dan les sabiots.
Troupiaux, troupiaux...
