Dans les prisons de Nantes
Y avait un prisonnier

Personne ne vint le "vouere"
Que la fille du geolier

Un jour il lui demande
Et que dit-on de "moue" ?

On dit de vous en ville
Que vous serez pendu


Mais s'il faut qu'on me pende
Deliez-moi les pieds

La fille etait jeunette
Les pieds lui a delie

Le prisonnier alerte
Dans la Loire s'est jete

Des qu'il fut sur les rives
Il se prit a chanter

Je chante pour les belles
Surtout celle du geolier

Si je reviens a Nantes
Oui je l'epouserai
