Monique Origins: La Fille d'un Avocat/I Went to the Market (36) RE: Origins: La Fille d'un Avocat/I Went to the Market 12 Oct 20


There are several variations and it's not only Breton (btw, there's no Breton version). Some here.

Here is one that you can listen here though not all of it.

Mon père m'a mariée
Avec un avocat,
La première nuitée
Qu'avec moi, il passa
Ah, ah, ah, ça ne va guère
Ah, ah, ah, ça ne va pas.

La première nuitée
Qu'avec moi, il passa
Il se démit l'épaule
Et me cassa le bras
Ah, ah, ah, ça ne va guère
Ah, ah, ah, ça ne va pas.

Il se démit l'épaule
Et me cassa le bras
J'appelle ma servante
Jeannette, êtes-vous là?
Ah, ah, ah, ça ne va guère
Ah, ah, ah, ça ne va pas.

J'appelle ma servante
Jeannette, êtes-vous là?
Allez dire à ma mère
Qu'elle vienne d'un seul pas,
Ah, ah, ah, ça ne va guère
Ah, ah, ah, ça ne va pas....

You can find a slightly different but longer version on this site (bawdy songs site). Another version. Another version that you can listen to.
