Thread Name: Origins: J'Entends le Moulin
Subject: RE: Origins: J'Entends le Moulin
The only versions I know of are Québecois, though the refrain differs (Nous viderons la bouteille replaces that windmill business, for instance). I'd be interested in any specifics that might place it in France; Britanny perhaps (given the call-and-response form of some versions) but without details who can tell?
