Thank you for your response: it's exactly the text and the music that I knew and that was passed down to me by my grandmother.

Thank you thank you! I still knew the tune, I played it on the piano, but the lyrics, after "how did you lose it?" nothing at all... So many memories!

Did you have these lyrics? My grandmother sang them too... here they are:

THE PARASOL

It was spring, I was twenty
And I was a young lady,
When in the woods of Choisy le Roi
I lost… my parasol.
My dear child, said my mother,
What a funny accident!
Tell me, will you, how you lost it…

On the fragrant grass,
I replied to my mother,
On the side, I lay down,
My parasol on the ground;
Overcome by drowsiness, from the heat,
I fell asleep, oh! misfortune!!
Upon waking, I realized I no longer had it…

They called in the officer
From the gendarmerie
Then finally, the regiment
Joined in as well,
I got excited, from all sides,
But in vain without success,
Hasn’t anyone seen the object I lost?

A few months later, an old fool
Proposed to me,
My naivety had caught him,
He took me without delay;
He bought me a raincoat,
A parasol – indeed!
He never noticed… that I no longer had it!

Six months after we got married
It was a funny thing:
Antoine and I had the joy
Of having a rosy baby,
The darling little one wasn’t, Christi,
At all the spitting image of my husband…
It caused quite a stir throughout Choisy le Roi!

This is a ribald song by RAOUL RICHEFORT - music by EMILE SPENCER
I found the lyrics and the first page of the sheet music.
But I can't find a performer.

Hello, I am sending you the lyrics that my grandmother used to sing and that my 92-year-old mother sang to me recently. I was twenty, it was spring, I was a young girl in the woods. I lost my umbrella. My poor child, she said to me, how did you lose your umbrella? On the lawn, it was beautiful, lying on my side, and my umbrella on the ground. When I realized, I no longer had my umbrella. My umbrella ☂️

Hello
Apparently, it wouldn't be a song, but a text that your mom used to read to you... to you and your daughters.

books.google.fr/books?id=MevUAAAAMAAJ
The book:
Mercure de France - Volume 246 - Page 330
Alfred Louis Edmond Vallettee - 1933 - ?Excerpts - ?Other editions
You have to know your trade to have certain audacities: I was twenty years old It was spring, And I was a young lady. When in a wood Near Choisy-le-Roi, I lost... my parasol. -- To the poor child. My mom said to me, It's a sad accident, But tell me, will you? How did you lose it? Gathered and implied, ...

Hoping this is it!

No, it was indeed a song, one of those we used to sing after "the drop" at family meals!

Hello everyone
Hello mlissa94
Hello MARYHENRI

Yesterday, I reached the same conclusion as you mlissa94, since I could only find writings* that never referred to a song, I deduced that it was a "story" given that: (among other things)

* http://sexygenaire.blogs.marieclaire.fr/archive/2006/03/19/docteur-j-ai-vu-la-vierge.html
sources: ???
* http://elizabethpardon.hautetfort.com/archive/2010/01/23/l-hiver-de-ma-mere.html
its sources: Excerpts from the notebook created by Anne Jacquemin who "awakens" every week the bogged-down memory of my mother: a remarkable work of survival (?)
... ...

Then I read your comment, which let’s be honest, did not help me find with your link (it doesn't lead to the correct magazine, nor the right author...) but did guide me well & ultimately with this link below:

http://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/bpt6k202167z/f84.image

One can read:

However, - without speaking of the cabaret song, which is far superior & otherwise more spiritual, and consequently inaccessible to the masses, - these much maligned Gaulloiseries of the café-concert required, to be carried out successfully, a certain skill. One must know their trade to have certain audacities:

I was twenty
It was spring,
And I was a young lady.
When in a wood
Of Choisy-le-Roi,
I lost... my parasol.
-- My poor child,
My mother said to me,
It's a sad accident,
But tell me, won't you?
How did you lose it?

With allusions & innuendos, this was always the preferred genre of the café-concert. But it was also a school of diction & what a fine performer Eléonore Bonnaire* was who, at the Eldorado**, recounted how she lost... her parasol.

sic.
In the Mercure De France magazine by the author, Alfred Vallette.

What do you understand?
Personally, I found myself in expectation, so I looked below, with a few links that I am sharing with you:

* Eléonore Bonnaire:
http://www.www.dutempsdescerisesauxfeuillesmortes.net/fiches_bio/bonnaire_eleonore/bonnaire_eleonore.htm
===>> http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%89l%C3%A9onore-Agla%C3%A9-Marie_Despierres
Éléonore-Aglaé-Marie Despierres is a French local historian.

** Eldorado:
http://www.www.dutempsdescerisesauxfeuillesmortes.net/textes_divers/cafes_concerts_et_music_halls/caf_conc_liste_alpha/cafes_concerts_e.htm#eldorado

Her repertoire:
http://www.www.dutempsdescerisesauxfeuillesmortes.net/fiches_bio/bonnaire_eleonore/bonnaire_eleonore_repertoire.htm

On Wiktionary, "grivoiserie" is linked to "song":
http://fr.wiktionary.org/wiki/grivoiserie

I don't know if you followed me through all these connections... apart from her profession as a local historian, Eléonore Bonnaire, also known as Huerta, performs by interpreting poetry (& others) or singing... including the one we can now name "A Choisy-Le-Roy" which is classified as a "grivoiserie" in the list of her multiple interpretations.
This is my conclusion.

Ultimately, with all these elements, I searched the few lines of the topic, in different forums, like old songs, risqué songs... in the one I cite here (http://www.www.dutempsdescerisesauxfeuillesmortes.net/menus/2a_accueil.htm), by the names of the authors/composers (R. Richefort - E. Spencer)... well, I am sorry, MARYHENRI, all these investigations were in vain, they just brought information about this song & its origin...
But if while wandering on the internet... I find something that may help, I will be sure to let you know.
Good evening to you.
Good evening to everyone.

Good evening
Great research. Yesterday I also searched in the categories: old songs, with no result!
For the coincidence: I live in Choisy-le-Roi...
Happy researching
To be continued...

According to a notebook titled "Song of My Youth" written in 1977 at the age of 81 by my grandmother, I sometimes sing this song at family gatherings.

I forgot to tell you that my grandmother sang "my umbrella" in 1980 for the baptism of her great-granddaughter who, by a twist of fate, is today a teacher at the high school in Choisy le Roi.
