Dans les prisons de Nantes
Y'avait un prisonnier.
Personne ne vint l'voir
Que la fille du geôlier.
Un jour il lui demande
Oui que dit-on de moi ?
On dit de vous en ville
Que vous serez pendu.
Mais s'il faut qu'on me pende
Déliez-moi les pieds.
La fille était jeunette
Les pieds lui a déliés.
Le prisonnier alerte
Dans la Loire s'est jeté.
Dès qu'il fut sur les rives
Il se prit à chanter :
Je chante pour les belles
Surtout celle du geôlier.
Si je reviens à Nantes
Oui je l'épouserai.
Dans les prisons de Nantes
Y'avait un prisonnier.
