Lyr. Add: I WENT TO THE MARKET ( Canadian folk) (Smithsonian recording)
I went to the market mon panier pendu aux bras I want some apples combien les vendez-vous?
Refrain- I love you, non, Monsieur, vous m'aimez guère I love you, non, Monsieur, vous m'aimez-pas
I want some apples combien les vendez-vous? A dollar a dozen combien en voulez-vous?
A dollar a dozen combien en voulez-vous? I'll take one dozen le bonhomme vous les paiera
I'll take one dozen le bonhomme vous les paiera I went at home le bonhomme n'y était pas
I went at home le bonhomme n'y était pas I went upstairs le bonhomme y était là
I went upstairs le bonhomme y était là I want some money, non t'en auras pas
I looked in his pocketbook, de l'argent y en avait pas
I went to the market, my basket hanging from my arms I want some apples, how much are you selling them for?
Refrain- I love you, no sir, you hardly love me I love you, no sir, you do not love me
I want some apples, how much are you selling them for? A dollar a dozen, how many do you want?
A dollar a dozen, how many do you want? I'll take one dozen, my husband will pay you for them
I'll take one dozen, my husband will pay you for them I went home, my husband was not there
I went home, my husband was not there I went upstairs, my husband was right there
I went upstairs, my husband was right there I want some money, no you won't have any
I looked in his pocketbook, there was no money.
