Thread Name: Req/ADD: French folk songs
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: French folk songs
Lol! It reminds me of our Occitan most famous bawdy song "Riu chiu chiu" (not to be confused with "Riu riu chiu") that tells the story of a guy (Riu chiu chiu) going to harvest his wheat. Her wife's supposed to bring him his lunch but she doesn't so he goes back home and he finds her with the priest "on top of her" (sic) who tells him that he's confessing her, that she sinned and will pay for it. After 36 weeks the baby was born and on Sunday at mass he cried out "Daddy!"
I think that this French bawdy priests thing in songs was mentioned in another thread.
