You can also hear it here http://www.objetsparlants.ca/UI/MusiLab/forms/Studios/player.aspx?soundId=117 You'll notice that it's a "modern" version because he sings "j'l'ai fait monter derrière moi sur ma selle" (present perfect tense) older versions go "j'la fis monter..." (preterit tense). Besides, in the line "ell' m' demandit à boire" "boire" is pronounced "bwar" -present French pronunciation- while it was pronounced something that could be transcripted "bwear" rhyming with "swear" and hence with "fontaine, père, verres, mère, frères, aime"
