Cache tes Fesses with lyrics:


Source, Les Têtes de Violon:


This is first tune I was able to play in clawhammer. Danse du Sauvage and Cache tes Fesses are the same tunes with variations. For me, the first one is easier to play but I think Cache tes Fesses is more common with fiddler and accordionist.

The melody is pretty easy to remember but the rhythmic is a bit more complicated. It's essentially in a 3/2 or 6/4 meter.

Lyrics:

C'était un p'tit Bonhomme,                                               There was a little man,
Qui était pas plus haut qu'un rat,                                       Who was as big as a rat,
Qu'y a pris sa p'tite bonne-femme,                                    Who took his little wife,
Pis l'a mis en dessous de son bras.                                    And took her under his arm.
                                                                                       
Cache tes fesses bonne-femme,                                        Hide your butt miss,
Sinon l'monde y voira (bis)                                                Or the people will see (bis)


Silly song, there is other lyrics to put over the melody but I still don't know them.
