Paroles
A man that was old come a-courting one day
And the girls wouldn’t have him
He come down the lane on a walking cane
With his overshoes on and his leggings
My mother she told me to give him a chair
For the girls wouldn’t have him
I give him a chair and he looked mighty queer
With his overshoes on and his leggings
My mother she told me to hang up his hat
For the girls wouldn’t have him
I hung up his hat and he kicked at the cat
With his overshoes on and his leggings
My mother she told me to give him some meat
For the girls wouldn’t have him
I give him some meat, and oh how he did eat
With his overshoes on and his leggings
My mother she told me to give him the hoe
For the girls wouldn’t have him
I give him the hoe and he jumped Jim Crow
With his overshoes on and his leggings
My mother she told me to give him the saw
For the girls wouldn’t have him
I give him the saw and he played «Rye Straw»
With his overshoes on and his leggings
My mother she told me to put him to bed
For the girls wouldn’t have him
I put him to bed and he stood on his head
With his overshoes on and his leggings
My mother she told me to send him away
For the girls wouldn’t have him
I sent him away and he left Christmas Day
With his overshoes on and his leggings
Traduction des paroles
Un homme qui était vieux est venu courtiser un jour
Et les filles ne l'auraient pas
Il est descendu sur une canne
Avec ses claques et ses jambières
Ma mère m'a dit de lui donner une chaise
Car les filles ne l'auraient pas
Je lui ai donné une chaise et il avait l'air puissant pédé
Avec ses claques et ses jambières
Ma mère m'a dit de raccrocher son chapeau
Car les filles ne l'auraient pas
J'ai raccroché son chapeau et il coups de pied au chat
Avec ses claques et ses jambières
Ma mère m'a dit de lui donner de la viande
Car les filles ne l'auraient pas
Je lui donne de la viande, et oh comment il a mangé
Avec ses claques et ses jambières
Ma mère m'a dit de lui donner la houe
Car les filles ne l'auraient pas
Je lui ai donné la houe et il a sauté Jim Crow
Avec ses claques et ses jambières
Ma mère elle m'a dit de lui donner de la scie
Car les filles ne l'auraient pas
Je lui donne la scie et il a joué " paille de seigle»
Avec ses claques et ses jambières
Ma mère elle m'a dit de le mettre au lit
Car les filles ne l'auraient pas
Je l'ai mis au lit et il s'est tenu sur la tête
Avec ses claques et ses jambières
Ma mère elle m'a dit de lui envoyer loin
Car les filles ne l'auraient pas
Je l'ai renvoyé et il est parti le jour de Noël
Avec ses claques et ses jambières
