A Hayseed Like Me - Pete Seegertranslation in French
I
once
was
a
tool
of
oppression
Fui
autrefois
un
instrument
d'oppression
As
green
as
a
sucker
could
be
Aussi
vert
qu'un
dindon
And
monopolies
banded
together
Et
les
monopoles
se
sont
unis
To
beat
a
poor
hayseed
like
me
Pour
battre
un
pauvre
plouc
comme
moi
The
railroads
and
the
old
party
bosses
Les
chemins
de
fer
et
les
vieux
patrons
du
parti
Together
did
sweetly
agree
Se
sont
agréablement
entendus
They
thought
there
would
be
little
trouble
Ils
pensaient
qu'il
n'y
aurait
pas
grand
problème
In
workin'
a
hayseed
like
me
À
travailler
un
plouc
comme
moi
In
workin'
a
hayseed
like
me
À
travailler
un
plouc
comme
moi
In

But
now
I've
roused
up
a
little
Mais
maintenant,
je
me
suis
un
peu
réveillé
Their
greed
and
corruption
I
see
Je
vois
leur
cupidité
et
leur
corruption
And
the
ticket
we
vote
next
November
Et
le
billet
que
nous
voterons
en

Will
be

up
of
hayseeds
