La Chèvre

Maurice Rollinat 1846 (Châteauroux) – 1903 (Ivry-sur-Seine)



Ma bonne chèvre limousine,
Gentille bête à l’œil humain,
J’aime à te voir sur mon chemin,
Loin de la gare et de l’usine.

Toi que la barbe encapucine,
Tu gambades comme un gamin,
Ma bonne chèvre limousine,
Gentille bête à l’œil humain.

Je vais à la ferme voisine,
Mais je te jure que demain
Tu viendras croquer dans ma main
Du sucre et du sel de cuisine,
Ma bonne chèvre limousine.
