Work rating: Low

M`sieu Paul Joulin, de Notaire Publique
  Is come I s`pose seexty year hees life
An` de mos` riche man on Sainte Angelique
  W`en he feel very sorry he got no wife--
So he`s paint heem hees buggy, lak new, by Gor!
  Put flower on hees coat, mak` hese`f more gay
Arrange on hees head fine chapeau castor
  An` drive on de house of de Boulanger.

For de Boulanger`s got heem une jolie fille
  Mos` bes` lookin` girl on paroisse dey say
An` all de young feller is lak Julie
  An` plaintee is ax her for mak` mariée,
But Julie she`s love only jus` wan man,
  Hees nam` it is Jérémie Dandurand
An` he`s work for her sak` all de hard he can
  `Way off on de wood, up de Mattawa.

M`Sieu Paul he spik him "Bonjour Mamzelle,
  You lak promenade on de church wit` me?
Jus` wan leetle word an` we go ma belle
  An` see heem de Curé toute suite, chérie;
I dress you de very bes` style à la mode,
  If you promise for be Madame Paul Joulin,
For I got me fine house on Bord à Plouffe road
  Wit` mor`gage also on de Grande Moulin."

But Julie she say "Non, non, M`Sieu Paul,
  Dat`s not correc` t`ing for poor Jérémie
For I love dat young feller lak not`ing at all,
  An` I`m very surprise you was not know me.
Jérémie w`en he`s geev me dat nice gol` ring,
  Las` tam he`s gone off on de Mattawa
Say he`s got `noder wan w`en he`s come nex` spring
  Was mak` me for sure Madame Dandurand.

"I t`ank you de sam` M`Sieu Paul Joulin
  I s`pose I mus` be de wife wan poor man
Wit` no chance at all for de Grande Moulin,
  But leev all de tam on some small cabane."
De Notaire Publique den is tak` hees hat,
  For he t`ink sure enough dat hees dog she`s dead;
Dere`s no use mak` love on de girl lak dat,
  Wit` not`ing but young feller on de head.

Julie she`s feel lonesome mos` all dat week,
  Don`t know w`at may happen she wait till spring
Den t`ink de fine house of Notaire Publique
  An` plaintee more too--but love`s funny t`ing!
So nex` tam she see de Notaire again,
  She laugh on her eye an` say "M`Sieu Paul
Please pass on de house, or you ketch de rain,
  Dat`s very long tam you don`t come at all."

She`s geev him so soon he`s come on de door
  Du vin de pays, an` some nice galettes,
She`s mak` dem herse`f only day before
  An` he say "Bigosh! dat is fine girl yet."
So he`s try hees chances some more--hooraw!
  Julie is not mak` so moche troub` dis tam;
She`s forget de poor Jérémie Dandurand
  An` tole de Notaire she will be hees famme.

W`en Jérémie come off de wood nex` spring,
  An` fin` dat hees girl she was get mariéeEverybody`s expec` he will do somet`ing,
  But he don`t do not`ing at all, dey say;
For he`s got `noder girl on Sainte Dorothée,
  Dat he`s love long tam, an` she don`t say "No,"
So he`s forget too all about Julie
  An` mak` de mariée wit` hese`f also.
