Mi Boui

Mi boui, mi boui, mi boui

Get your nice boil corn

Soft and sweet, soft and sweet

Every evening at six o'clock

Madeline passin by

The children tell the time on the clock

Madeline passing by

Rost corn, boil corn

come and buy

You can hear her plaintif cry

Mi boui, mi boui, mi boui...
