5   "En voila, p'tit Jean, s'il tombait-z-au cas, Qa serait p'tit Jean qui serait mange.
O voila, p'tit Jean, qu'il tombe sur toi, Qa serait p'tit Jean qui serait mange.
6  "O p'tit Jean, ga fait du mal."
II crie, "Courage, mes camarades."
7  "Je vois la terre sur toutes cotes, Trois pigeons blancs qui s'a voltige.
8   "Je vois aussi trois filles du pere Que se promenaient au bord du rivage.
9   "O si jamais je mets pieds sur terre La plus jolie je l'epouserai."
i On stormy seas we six years sailed, And never once green land we hailed.*
2   The bitter seventh year came on,
We found our stores at last were gone.
3   We ate the mice, we ate the rats, And through the hold we ran like cats.
4  And then at lots we took a try
To see which one of us would die.
5   "Look, little John, if chance does will, It's you we'll take, it's you we'll kill. Look, little John, so chance does will, It's you we'll take, it's you we'll kill."
* Repeat couplet to form each stanza.
[181]
