Equinoxial
swore
by
the
green
leaves
on
the
tree
Équinoxe
jurait
sur
les
feuilles
vertes
de
l'arbre
That
he
could
do
more
work
in
a
day
than
Pheobe
could
in
three
Qu'il
pouvait
faire
plus
de
travail
en
un
jour
que
Phébé
en
trois
Three,
he
could
do
more

in
a
day
than
Pheobe
could
in
three
Trois,
il
pouvait
faire
plus
de
travail
en
un
jour
que
Phébé
en
trois
If
that
be
true
little
Pheobe
said
then
this
you
must
allow
Si
c'est
vrai,
petite
Phébé,
dit-elle,
alors
ceci
vous
devez
permettre
You
come
do
the
work
in
the

and
I'll

It's

must
feed
the
little
pig
that
stands
in
yonder
sty
C'est
vous
qui
devez
nourrir
le
petit
cochon
qui
se
tient
dans
l'étable
You

peur
qu'elle

crème
que
j'ai

And
you
must

it'll
all
go
into
flame,

dans
le
pot

yarn
that
I
spun
yesterday

enrouler
l'écheveau
de
fil
que
j'ai
filé
hier
And
you
must
watch
the
little
hen
or
so
she'd
run
away
Et
vous
devez
surveiller
la
petite
poule
ou
alors
elle
s'enfuira
And
you
must
watch
the

de
peur
qu'elle
