I'm sittin' to night on maleetle caA
bane more happier dan de kingB
An' ev'ry corner 's singin' out wit'C
musique de ole stove singB
I hear de cry of de winter win' for de stormD
gate 's open wideC
But I don't care not'ing for win'or storm soE
long I was safe insideC
-
Viens 'ci mon chien put your head on dereF
let your nose res' on ma kneeG
You 'member de tam we chase de moose backH
on de Lac SourisI
An' de snow come down an' we los' ourse'fJ
till mornin' is bring de lightC
You t'ink we got place to sleep mon chienK
lak de place we got here to nightC
-
Onder de roof of de leetle cabane w'ere fireF
she's blazin' highJ
An' bed I mak' of de spruce tree branch is lieJ
on de floor close byJ
O I lak de smell of dat nice fresh bed an' IJ
dream of de summer tamL
An' de spot w'ere de beeg trout jomp soE
moche down by de lumber damL
-
But lissen dat win' how she scream outsideC
mak me t'ink of de loup garouF
W'y to night mon chien I be feelin' glad ifJ
even de carcajouM
Don't ketch hese'f on de trap I set to day onN
de Lac SourisI
Let heem wait tili to morrow an' den if heG
lak I geev heem good chance sapreeF
-
I see beeg cloud w'en I'm out to day off onN
de nor' eas' skyJ
An' she block de road so de cloud behin'N
don't get a chance passin' byJ
An' I t'ink of boom on de grande riviere w'enN
log 's fillin' up de bayO
Wall sam' as de boom on de spring tamL
flood dat cloud she was sweep awayO
-
Dem log 's very nice an' quiet so long as deG
boom 's all rightC
But soon as de boom geev way l'enfant it'sP
den is begin de fightC
Dey run de rapide an' jomp de rock' dey leapQ
on de air an' diveJ
Can hear dem roar from de reever shore jus'P
lak dey was all aliveJ
-
An' dat was de way wit' de cloud to day deG
res' of dem push asideC
For dey 're comin' fas' from de cole nor' eas'P
an' away t'roo de sky dey rideC
Shakin' de snow as along dey go lak grainN
from de farmer's han'N
Till to morrow you can't see not'ing at all butC
smoke of de leetle cabaneN
-
I'm glad we don't got no chimley only holeR
on de roof up dereF
An'spark fly off on w'ole of de worl' so dere 'sP
no use gettin' scareF
Mus' get more log an' it's lucky too de woodC
pile is stannin' nearF
So blow away storm for harder you go deG
warmer she's comin' hereF
-
I wonder how dey get on mon chien off on deG
great beeg townN
W'ere house is so high near touch de skyJ
mus' be danger of fallin' downN
An' worser too on de night lak dis ketchin'N
dat terrible win'N
O leetle small place lak de ole cabane was deG
right place for stayin' inN
-
I s'pose dey got plaintee bodder too demL
feller dat's be riche manN
For dey 're never knowin' w'en t'ief may comeL
an' steal all de t'ing he canN
An' de monee was kip dem busy too watchin'N
it night an' dayO
Dunno but we're better off here mon chienN
wit' beeg city far awayO
-
For I look on de corner over dere an' see itC
ma birch canoeN
I look on de wall w'ere ma rifle hang along wit'C
de good snowshoeN
An' ev'ry t'ing else on de worl' I got safe onN
dis place near meL
An' here you are too ma brave ole dog wit'C
your nose up agen ma kneeL
-
An' here we be stay t'roo de summer dayC
w'en ev'ry t'ing 's warm an' brightC
On winter too w'en de stormy win' blow lakH
she blow to nightC
Let dem stay on de city on great beeg houseP
dem feller dat 's be riche manN
For we're happy an' satisfy here mon chienN
on our own leetle small cabaneN
