Une che're petite greenonille Lived on the river bank. Un corbeau noir et gaillard Came to get a drink oh!
"Come ashore, come ashore," Dit le corbeau a la greenonille. "Come ashore, come ashore," Dit le corbeau a la greenonille.
2 "And you shall hear the music On yonder green hill oh! And you shall see the dancers All dressed up in yellow. Je vous remercie, Je vous remercie,
Dit la petitea la greenonille, Je vous remarsin, Je vous remarsin Dit le juene a la greenonille.
