Name: Marguerite - McHugh's Jig
Duration: P00H04M45S
Description: Marguerite is a song from the Channel Islands. We found a very different version of it while browsing through the Kennedy Collection of British Isles Folksongs. This arrangement grew from experimentation with MIDI files, composition and music software. The traditional Irish jig, McHugh's came to us through a curious series of cartoon books, Stuntology and Tuneology by Sam Bartlett of Indiana.

lyrics

Marguerite
traditional, arranged by Pint & Dale
Marguerite se promene, le long de son jardin
Le long de son jardin sur le bord de l'ile
Le long de son jardin sur le bord de l'eau
Sur le bord du vaisseau

Elle apercoit une barque, de bien trente matelots
De bien trente matelot sur le bord de l'ile
De bien trente matelot sur le bord de l'eau
Sur le bord du vaisseau

Le plus jeune des trente Chantait-t-une chanson
Chantait-t-une chanson sur le bord de l'ile
Chantait-t-une chanson sur le bord de l'eau
Sur le bord du vaisseau

La chanson que tu chan-tes j'aimerais bien la savoir
J'aimerais bien la savoir sur le bord de l'ile
J'aimerais bien la savoir sur le bord de l'eau
Sur le bord du vaisseau

Embarquez dans ma barque, je vous l'apprendrerai
Je vous l'apprendrerai sur le bord de l'ile
Je vous l'apprendrerai sur le bord de l'eau
Sur le bord du vaisseau

Quand elle fut dans la barque elle s'y mit a pleurer
Ell s'y mit a pleurer sur le bord de l'ile
Ell s'y mit a pleurer sur le bord de l'eau
Sur le bord du vaisseau

N'y pleurez pas, ma belle, c'est de l'argent prete
C'est de largent prete sur le bord de l'ile
C'est de largent prete sur le bord de l'eau
Sur le bord du vaisseau
