Subject: RE: Lyr Req: What is this French song?
There's a very nice sound clip here, along with lyrics. They are much as ClaireBear supplied, except for the first half of the first verse. And yes, "possède" is correct.
The song also appears on the Folkways album "Chansons d'Acadie", sung by Helen Baillargeon and Alan Mills (FW 6923).
Another example of a ghoulish lullaby.
