Avec une bêche à l'épaule,
Avec, à la lèvre, un doux chant,
Avec, à la lèvre, un doux chant,
Avec, à l'âme, un grand courage,
Il s'en allait trimer aux champs!

Pauvre Martin, pauvre misère,
Creuse la terr', creuse le temps!

Pour gagner le pain de sa vie,
De l'aurore jusqu'au couchant,
De l'aurore jusqu'au couchant,
Il s'en allait bêcher la terre
En tous lieux, par tous les temps!

Pauvre Martin, pauvre misère,
Creuse la terr', creuse le temps!

Sans laisser voir, sur son visage,
Ni l'air jaloux ni l'air méchant,
Ni l'air jaloux ni l'air méchant,
Il retournait les champs des autres,
Toujours bêchant, toujours bêchant!

Pauvre Martin, pauvre misère,
Creuse la terr', creuse le temps!

Et quand la mort lui a fait signe
De labourer son dernier champ,
De labourer son dernier champ,
Il creusa lui-même sa tombe
En faisant vite, en se cachant...

Pauvre Martin, pauvre misère,
Creuse la terr', creuse le temps!

Il creusa lui-même sa tombe
En faisant vite, en se cachant,
En faisant vite, en se cachant,
Et s'y étendit sans rien dire
Pour ne pas déranger les gens...

Pauvre Martin, pauvre misère,
Dors sous la terr', dors sous le temps!
