Si vous voyagez un brin
Du côté de St-Quentin
Dites bonjour à mes parents
Qui habitent le cinquième rang
Vous pouvez pas lé manquer
Prenez le ch'min pas pavé
Près d'la maison vous verrez
Y'a une croix qu'on a planté
En vous voyant arriver, m'man ôtera son tablier
Et dira, mais entrez donc, passez donc dans le salon
Les planchers sont frais cirés, on ose à peine marcher
Un bouquet de fleurs des champs, embaume l'appartement.
Que c'est charmant, chez nos parents
C'que ça sent bon, dans nos vieilles maisons Extrait sonore

Sitôt que vous s'rez entrés
Y faudra vous dégrayer
On vous garde pour le souper
Car ce soir y'a t'une veillée
On vid' la chamb' des garçons
Roul' le tapis du salon
Heureux, l'père tire une boufféeEn attendant les invités
Les voisins arrivent gaiement
Avec leur douzaine d'enfants
On monte en haut les coucher
Cinq par lit, faut les tasser
Quand ils sont tous endormis
On ferm' la porte sans bruit
On descend le coeur joyeux
En attendant les violoneux
Ah, c'que c'est gai
Dans nos veillées
La vie a du bon
Dans nos vieilles maisons
Pour ceux qui prennent un p'tit coup
Papa sort son caribou
Quand on est ben réchauffé
On s'invite pour danser
Ti-Jos avec Joséphine
Le grand Arthur pis Caroline
Thérèse avec Poléon
Pis tous les maîtres de la maison
Les violons sont accordés
Les musiciens tapent du pied
C'est Frétine qui va caller
Le premier set de la veillée
Swinguez lâ su's plancher-là
Les gigueux sont fatigués
Thérèse, qui étouffait,
Est allée ôter son corset
Dansons gaiement
C'est le bon temps
Du rigodon
Dans nos vieilles maisons
Quand c'est l'temps du réveillon
Ah, la vieille a fait des cretons
Du ragoût d'pattes de cochon
D'la tourtière pis du jambon
Pour dessert sur la table
Notre bon sirop d'érable
Des beignes, d'la crème d'habitant
Les ceintures changent de cran
Maintenant qu'on a trop mangé
On peut à peine souffler
Des histoires à raconter
Oh, rire ça fait digérer
Déjà cinq heures du matin
La veillée tire à sa fin
On réveille les enfants
On s'dit au revouère en baîllant
Oh yes!
Ça s'passe comme ça
La vie a du bon
Dans nos vieilles maisons
C'est la tradition
Dans nos vieilles maisons!
