You can pass on de worl` w`erever you lak,
Tak` de steamboat for go Angleterre,
Tak` car on de State, an` den you come back,
An` go all de place, I don`t care—
Ma frien` dat `s a fack, I know you will say,
W`en you come on dis contree again,
Dere `s no girl can touch, w`at we see ev`ry day,
De nice leetle Canadienne.
Don`t matter how poor dat girl she may be,
Her dress is so neat ab` so clean,
Mos` ev`rywan t`ink it was mak` on Paree
An` she wear it, wall! jus` lak de Queen.
Den come for fin` out she is mak` it herse`f,
For she ain`t got moche monee for spen`,
But all de sam` tam, she was never get lef`,
Dat nice leetle Canadienne.
W`en "un vrai Canayen" is mak` it mariée,
You t`ink he go leev on beeg flat
An` bodder hese`f all de tam, night an` day,
Wit` housemaid, an` cook, an` all dat?
Not moche, ma dear frien`, he tak` de maison,
Cos` only nine dollar or ten,
W`ere he leev lak blood rooster, an` save de l`argent,
Wit` hees nice leetle Canadienne.
I marry ma famme w`en I `m jus` twenty year,
An` now we got fine familee,
Dat skip roun` de place lak leetle small deer,
No smarter crowd you never see—
An` I t`ink as I watch dem all chasin` about,
Four boy an` six girl, she mak` ten,
Dat `s help mebbe kip it, de stock from run out,
Of de nice leetle Canadienne.
O she `s quick an` she `s smart, an` got plaintee heart,
If you know correc` way go about,
An` if you don`t know, she soon tole you so
Den tak` de firs` chance an` get out;
But if she love you, I spik it for true,
She will mak` it more beautiful den,
An` sun on de sky can`t shine lak de eye
Of dat nice leetle Canadienne.
