Lyrics
Dans la prison de Londres
Dam di le di li dam dam di le di li dam
Dans la prison de Londres
Y’avait un prisonnier
Y’avait un prisonnier
Personne venait le voir
Dam di le di li dam dam di le di li dam
Personne venait le voir
Que la fille du geôlier
Que la fille du geôlier
Dites-moi donc la belle
Dam di le di li dam dam di le di li dam
Dites-moi donc la belle
Demain si je mourrai
Demain si je mourrai
Puisque je meurs demain
Dam di le di li dam dam di le di li dam
Puisque je meurs demain
Lâchez-moi donc les pieds
Lâchez-moi donc les pieds
Quand il eut les pieds lâches
Dam di le di li dam dam di le di li dam
Quand il eut les pieds lâches
À la mer s’est jeté
À la mer s’est jeté
À la première plonge
Dam di le di li dam dam di le di li dam
À la première plonge
Il a manqué se noyer
Il a manqué se noyer
À la deuxième plonge
Dam di le di li dam dam di le di li dam
À la deuxième plonge
La mer, a traversée
La mer, a traversée
Quand il fut sur ses cotes
Dam di le di li dam dam di le di li dam
Quand il fut sur ses cotes
Il s’est mis à chanter
Il s’est mis à chanter
Si jamais j’y retourne
Dam di le di li dam dam di le di li dam
Si jamais j’y retourne
Oui je l'épouserai
Oui je l'épouserais
Dam di le di li dam dam di le di li dam
Dam di le di li dam dam di le di li dam
