Lyr Req: ce sont les loups

Do you ever have a half remembered song going round your head?
My late father used to sing "ce sont les loups". It is from England and must be Norman French.

Can anyone put me out of my agony and provide the whole song.

If you half remember it, would you quote that much? Otherwise (since there seem to be a number of possibilities) you'll probably just get random guesses.

Could we have some of what's 'running around in your head' please Hugh?

Cracked it. There is apparently a version in French-Canadian and Cajun. It is a variation on « J'ai Vu le Loup, J'ai vu le loup, le renard et le lièvre »

Thanks for all your help by the way. Strange once you play it - it stops going round your head.

LOL

Any chance you'll post the lyrics?

See threads J'ai vu le loup for a text from the Pays de Beaune, and Lyr Req: About Cajun Music for one off a Balfa Brothers record.
