From the recording Wee Baby Moon
This old french folksong was popular with the voyageurs. There are many different versions; this version invites the participants to make up their own lyrics.
Lyrics
En roulant ma boule roulant
En roulant ma boule
Behind our house there is a pond, en roulant ma boule
The ducks play on it all day long, rouli-roulant, ma boule roulant
Chorus
The ducks play on it all day long, en roulant ma boule
They swim and float and sing this song, rouli-roulant, ma boule roulant
Chorus
They swim and float and sing this song,
They make it as they go along
Chorus
They make it as they go along
And so the words are never wrong
