French folksongs

I'm looking for words to French folk songs such as "everybody would learn", growing up; in particular, I can't remember all the words to "Il etait un petit navire". Can anybody help with resources, on or off Net, or with actual words? And there's another song that starts, "un p'tit car qui chante, chante, chante, chante, chante sur la route", for singing on the bus.... Anybody have any input? Thanks!

Try here: http://www.imaginet.fr/momes/comptines/ for words & music to a zillion French folksongs. I haven't checked in particular for the ones you mention, please post whether or not you find them. If not, I may have a couple of other French sites as well.

Wow, that's a great site. It does have "petit navire." Didn't search for the other one. But looking forward to exploring.
