Le vieux du bas du fleuve


Y'avait un vieux dans l'bas du fleuve
Avec une terre de trente arpents
Un poêle à bois, une charrue neuve
Trente-six cochons, et onze enfants
Y s'est levé un bon matin
Une cicatrice sur son terrain
Les yeux pleins d'eau y'a dit: «Calvaire!
On est en train d' voler ma terre.»

Quand t'es ben tranquille chez vous
Assis à compter les hivers
Pis à t'mêler d'tes affaires
J'ai d'quoi su'l'coeur
Mais j'ai pas l'coeur
À te l'dire

Y avait un vieux dans l'bas du fleuve
Avec un coeur de trente arpents
On l'a tué à coups d'tracteur
Le sang a coulé par en d'dans
Sa femme est là et qui dort plus
Un coup parti les p'tits non plus
Le «douze à sel» c'est passé d'mode
On peut pas éviter l'exode

Quand t'es ben tranquille chez vous
Assis à compter les hivers
Pis à t'mêler d'tes affaires
J'ai d' quoi su'l'coeur
Mais j'ai pas l'coeur
À te l'dire

Y'avait un vieux dans l' bas du fleuve
Avec des rêves de trente arpents
Sort sa charrue pendant la nuit
À grands coups d'poing laboure son lit
Y'avait un vieux dans l'bas du fleuve
Qui était caché dans l'fond d'un bas
Dans l'fond du bas du Saint-Laurent
Où c'est qu'y en a qui passent par là

Quand t'es ben tranquille chez vous
Assis à compter les hivers
Pis à t'mêler d'tes affaires
J'ai d' quoi su' l'coeur
Mais j'ai pas l'coeur
À te l'dire

Quand t'es ben tranquille chez vous
Assis à compter les hivers
Pis à t'mêler d'tes affaires
J'ai d' quoi su' l'coeur
Mais j'ai pas l'coeur
À te l'dire
