The words
Verse 1
Nicolette, à la vesprée, s'allait promener au pré, cueillir la pâquerette, la jonquille et le muguet. Toute sautillante, toute guillerette, A Rencontra vieux loup grognant, tout hérissé l'oeil brillant: "Hé là! ma Nicolette, viens tu pas chez Mère Grand?" A perte d'haleine, s'enfuit Nicolette, A Joli, joli, Ah! Ah! Page joli. A A A Rencontra seigneur chenu, tors, laid, puant et ventru: "Hé là! ma Nicolette, veux tu pas tous ces écus?" Vite fut en ses bras, bonne Nicolette, jamais au pré n'est plus revenue.
