Let de cattle out de gate, so he know it's purty late

By de tam dem cow was findin' out each oder.

So along de corduroy de young girl an' de boy

Dey was kipin' up a joggin' nice an' steady.

It isn't heavy load, an' Guillaume he know de road

For many tam he's been dat way already.

But de girl she fin' it slow, so she ax de boy to go

Somet'ing better dan a mile on fifteen minute,

An' he's touch heem up, Guillaume; so dat horse he lay for home,

An' de nex' t'ing Victorine she know she's in it.
