3 Je Pai perdu dans la paillasse.
4 J'ai allume la chandelle pour le trouver.
5 La paillasse a pris feu.
6 Je Pai trouve du tout grille.
7 Je Pai expose dans une soucoupe
8 Le chat est venu, Pa pris pour un rat.
9 O chat, 6 chat, laisse mon mari. |

I laid him down in my corn-shuck bed, Oh, my Lord, a manikin, not a man.
3 I lost him down in the quilts and sheets.
4 I lit me a candle to find him there.
5 The candle set the shucks on fire.
6 When I found him at last, he was toasted well.
7 I laid him out in a saucer of glass.
8 The cat took my manikin for a rat.
9 aO kitty," I cried, "let my husband be."
