Hello,
so I was also looking today... rather to validate the lyrics I remember... here they are
My wife gave me a hundred sous
Take that basket that's on the nail
Go fetch me some salad, some meat, all together
Jeanot, Jeanot, went away without saying a word
On the way he met
Three young mounted knights
They poured him so much to drink that he lost his memory
I forget, I forget, all that my wife told me
When he got home
His wife rang the bell
She was worse than the devil, she needed her salad
Jeanot, Jeanot, went to bed without saying a word
Around 10, 11, midnight
His wife got him out of bed
Without shirt, without pants, without hat, without frock coat
Completely naked, completely naked, right in the middle of the street
My wife, my dear little wife
Let me have all my clothes
My shirt, my pants, my hat, my frock coat
I’m cold, I’m cold, and everyone is laughing at me
Finally, his wife agreed
Gave him all his clothes
His shirt, his pants, his hat, his frock coat
Thank you, thank you, my dear little wife!
And there you go... I still don't know if it ends like this... and if the lyrics are accurate...

Hello,
I'm also looking for... here's a small bit that we remember:
....Jeannot went away without saying a word
On the way, he met
Three young horsemen mounted...
later on, he spends all his money and has no money left to pay for the salad...

Yes, yes, it's definitely the song. I would say "richly adorned" rather than "mounted"...
Otherwise, it's almost word for word the song my grandfather sings.. ! :) There you go
By the way, does anyone know the title?

What a surprise: these words and a little bit of melody have been running through my head for months.
I am almost 80 years old and it's a song I learned when I was a scout (12 years old)
So now, who can help me find the whole melody again?
My wife gave me a hundred cents
Take this basket that's on the hook
Go get me some salad, some meat, all together
Jeannot, Jeannot, went away without saying a word
It would be a phenomenon, thank you in advance, Olivier

Hi,
You can also find it by typing in your search engine (mine starts with G, I'm not married to it but it searches well):
"Jeannot left without saying a word".
The song is there in its entirety.
Take care,
Orph

On his way he met three young riders at a walk, they offered him a drink and Jeannot lost his memory.
Thank you a thousand times for providing these lyrics that I too have been looking for for many years.
