Tout près du cap Gris-Nez
Quand j'ai fini d'pêcher
On s'retrouv' chez Léonce
On est onze
On mesure les poissons
En vidant des canons
Et on pass' vit' le cap
Car ça tape
Bientôt plus d'Cap Gris-Nez
Encor' moins d'cap Blanc-Nez
Ceux qu'on voit c'est nos nez
Tout roug's et
Quand les verr's que je lèv'
Ot'nt le sel sur mes lèvres
Moi je pens' à Marie
Qui est partie.
{Refrain:}
Quand la mer monte
J'ai honte, j'ai honte
Quand ell' descend
Je l'attends
A marée basse
Elle est partie hélas
A marée haute
Avec un autre.
Lors le nez dégrisé
Je quitt' l'estaminet
Et j'regard' en rêvant
Le rident
D' l'autr' côté de la mer
Les collin's d'Angleterr'
Montr'nt que l'mond' par ici
Est tout petit
Et à gorg' déployée
Sur le flot déchaîné
Je l'appell' à grands cris
R'viens Marie
P't'êtr' qu'à la molliment
Pour pêcher qu'c'est l'bon temps
Mon filet m'la rendra
Dans mes bras.
{Refrain}
