French drinking song MIDI file & manuscript by Robbie Rhodes MIDI file: cheval.mid (1 kb) Manuscript: cheval.gif (7 kb)
This is a familiar drinking song which I want to present to the French class. I want to make a nice manuscript for the teacher. (Maybe get a good grade, eh?! :-) The manuscript will be printed in landscape format, 11" wide by 8.5" high. The MIDI file was simple. A piano synth keyboard was connected via the MIDI cable to Master Tracks Pro sequencer software on the PC. Then I printed the manuscript image, and I scanned the print with a flat-bed scanner to create a BMP file which was heavily edited with Microsoft Paint. I also added the lyrics using Paint. Maybe there's a better way! The first verse says, "Knights of the round table, let us see if the wine is good." Several verses later (#5), "The two feet against the wall, and the head under the tap!" (Yes, it could mean either the water tap or the tap of the wine barrel.) Ah, college life! Robbie Rhodes
Chevaliers de la table ronde
1. Chev-a-liers de la tab-le rond-e, Goû-tons voir si le vin est
bon.
2. S'il est bon, s'il est a-gré-ab-le, J'en boi-rai jus-qu'à
mon plai-sir.
3. J'en boi-rai cinq à six bou-teil-les, Un-e fem-me sur les
gen-oux.
4. Si je meurs, je veux qu'on m'en-ter-re, Dans une cave où y
a du bon vin.
5. Les deux pieds con-tre la mu-rail-le, Et la tête sous le rob-i-net.
6. Sur ma tombe, je veux qu'on in-scriv-e, I-ci gît le roi des
bu-veurs.
7. Et la mor-ale de cet-te his-toire, Est qu'il faut boire a-vant d'mour-ir.
