Ecoutez cette histoire
Que l'on m'a racontée.
Du fond de ma mémoire,
Je vais vous la chanter.
Elle se passe en Provence,
Au milieu des moutons,
Dans le sud de la France,
Au pays des santons.
Quand il vint au domaine,
Y avait un beau troupeau.
Les étables étaient pleines
De brebis et d'agneaux.
Marchant toujours en tête
Aux premières lueurs,
Pour tirer sa charrette,
Il mettait tout son cœur.
Au temps des transhumances,
Il s'en allait heureux,
Remontant la Durance,
Honnête et courageux
Mais un jour, de Marseille,
Des messieurs sont venus.
La ferme était bien vieille,
Alors on l'a vendue.
Il resta au village.
Tout le monde l'aimait bien,
Vaillant, malgré son âge
Et malgré son chagrin.
Image d'évangile,
Vivant d'humilité,
Il se rendait utile
Auprés du cantonnier.
Cette vie honorable,
Un soir, s'est terminée.
Dans le fond d'une étable,
Tout seul il s'est couché.
Pauvre bête de somme,
Il a fermé les yeux.
Abandonné des hommes,
Il est mort sans adieux.
Mm mm mmm mm...
Cette chanson sans gloire
Vous racontait la vie,
Vous racontait l'histoire
D'un petit âne gris...
