A very old song

Hello,
I am looking for a very old song that my mother used to sing. Today this melody haunts me. I can't find anything since I have neither the author nor the title. Here is what I remember: Crying at your knees I implore you oh my mother, you wanted it I obeyed, I have no choice but to die.......... and it was obviously sung by a woman. It may date from the 1930s/1940s.

When a young girl gets married, the whole family is on their toes
the morning of the ceremony, everyone hurries to dress her
her father puts on her ankle boots, her sister puts in the curlers
and it's her mother, as you can guess, who sticks the orange blossom in her hair
she tells her I want it everywhere
more more
I want plenty in my hair, I want it from head to heels
of those little buttons that smell so good
more more
so that everyone can see I’ve stayed pure
my dear Hector will like it, please put in more... more

All day long there’s a feast and in the evening after the meal
with frenzy we dance, polka, scottish and mazurka
the bride doesn't miss a beat, and her poor husband is exhausted
and especially to add to his misfortune, her shoes are crushing his feet
she steps on his corns, telling him Hector
more more
I will dance all night long, it feels so good to whirl, to sway all entwined
more more
??? spin me faster

well sorry I don’t have much time left... if I think of it I’ll be back

  Thank you a thousand times, Maxottor! It's great that you were able to find this song. It will make one of my friends happy who, I believe, has been searching for it for a long time. In vain!
  Is there a sequel? If one day you have the time and think about it...
  And if you know the songwriter...
  I really appreciate you for searching and responding. I was no longer hoping for an answer!
  Have a good evening and big hugs! Bullou83

    Well yes, there is a sequel that gets more and more funny
    finally funny
    charming, sung by a 90-year-old grandfather who was my husband's grandfather
    
    I'm looking for the exact lyrics of this song
    I only have them through his mouth
    you said it wasn't for you???
    who for then
    it's the first time I've seen someone else in my family talk about this song
    there's a good chance we're related!!!!!!* right?
    ask your friend where she knows this song from...
    
    I'll get back to you as soon as I have time
    bye

André Asselin

At the ball I saw him again, how moved I was
We were each other’s, strangers now
He came to me and spoke, I turned pale at his sight
He called me Madame, alas, I who loved him
His heart was mine, to him alone I was dear
Another offered himself, to him I had to bind myself
Weeping at your feet, I implored you, my mother
You willed it, I obeyed; I have nothing left but to die.
------------------------------------------------------
Later I saw him again, another young girl
Beautiful, charming, and modest, had caught his eye
He surrounded her with care, he called her Camille
He spoke to her of love, with eyes and voice
Since then they are united, my pain is bitter
The past troubles me, as much as the future
Weeping...etc
-----------------------------------------------------------
Later I saw him again, but much longer still
He held a child, sitting on his knees
Suddenly I shuddered, at the name of Éléonore
Recalling to my heart, our sweet conversations
The child bore my name, which his father gave him
He still remembers, ah! how he must have suffered
Weeping at...etc...
------------------------------------------------
Finally I saw him again, I was in black dress
I had lost the husband, that you had given me
And seeing my mourning, he paled at the memory
Of the bond that, far from me, held him chained
I never saw him again, what to do on earth
He is a husband and father, he cannot return
Weeping at your feet...etc...

This song should be titled "Farewells of a Dying Man" and could soon be here: http://plabbe.com/hl/Chanson.htm

  Thank you very much for your response, but I don't think (I will check anyway) the song that concerns me is about a young girl who loves a man and whose mother refuses the marriage. Years later, the young woman in question meets by chance the young man of her heart with a young woman by his side and a little girl by the hand, who bears her name.
  Thank you again for your kindness. Chanchan.

Hello, well here it is, my message that disappeared on the 23rd, but it got deleted, I must have made a wrong move.
I started it again, and its 2nd version is just a bit higher, still under the pseudonym Bullou 83.
I keep looking everywhere, with no results. It's a very old song of which I only know a few lyrics, probably the beginning:

When a young girl gets married
The whole family is on their feet,
On the day of the ceremony
Everyone hurries to assist her.

If anyone knows the rest, and maybe also the title and artist... don’t hesitate!!!
Thank you in advance. With all my best wishes.

Hello Bullou83, Maxotor, La Bus, and Olicarmou

He made everyone laugh every time he sang it at weddings and even at baptisms and communions

Hello,

Pierre Malar
ARGENTINE SERENADE
Lyrics: Max François, music: Pueca, 1948

If you pass by there
Don't tell her
How much my heart beats
For her
She would be too joyful
Just tell her
That from time to time
A dreaming soul
Calls her...
She will have torment...
Tell her that the one who loves her
Lives only on impossible hope
That his thoughts are poems
That he sings to her softly in the evening...
Tell her that life
Day and night
Is nothing but nostalgia
Without her...
She will laugh... but too bad
There is in my village
A fragile and sweet heart
A heart whose face
Would make the devil jealous...
I had her preference
Yet I left
Since then when I think of it
I have infinite regrets...

If you pass by there
Don't tell her
How much my heart beats
For her
She would be too joyful
Just tell her
That from time to time
My soul dreaming
Calls her...
She will have torment...
But if you see her sincere
As her eyes look down
Tell her that by loving her I hope
To make her forget the past...
Tell her that in my turn
For a long time
I dream of love
For her...
And that I await her return
Tell her I beg you
Tell her, too bad, who I am...

Best regards.

  Good evening, if someone reads my message, that would be great, indeed, following your discussions regarding the song "again, again":
  I’m looking for the music because I had noted the lyrics during meals, a gentleman always sang it,
  but I have no memory of the melody. I would like to please his son, as you understand it was his father and he is no longer with us.
  Thank you.
  Sincerely.
  Holiday.

Hello,

I took a little "stroll" on the internet, and I found a few leads,

(Site under construction) Towards the bottom of the page, a song title appears: "Weeping at your knees" (no more details).
http://plabbe.com/hl/Chanson.htm

On this other site, towards the top of the page, the same title appears: "Weeping at your knees" (left column referenced HERI.CHAN. 012)
http://www.csj.ualberta.ca/ippf/cahiers%20de%20chansons%20HERI%20C.htm

P.S. Following Hubertaaz's post, I found the beginning of a score titled "Farewells of a Dying Man"

  I don’t know the answer for the requester, but I have almost the same problem. For me, it’s a song that my mother used to sing during the holidays. The title of the song is "L'homme aux guenilles" by Murielle Millard. My mother has passed away, and I would love to find it, please help me. You would make children happy because the whole family here would love to find it. Bigouinne.

Hello again, I don't understand why my message from earlier disappeared? Did I make a mistake somewhere? Can I repost it on the forum?
Just in case ... I'm asking my question again, because maybe someone can give me an answer?
I'm looking for the lyrics, the title, and the artist of an old song that starts like this:

When a young girl gets married
The whole family is up and about,
On the day of the ceremony
Everyone rushes to assist ...

If anyone knows the lyrics, I would be very grateful to hear from you.
Thank you in advance. Best regards, Bullou 83

  Hello Jacren, thank you very much for the research. The information you provide is already important, but if you know the rest of the lyrics, and you can't find a website where we can get them, would you mind sending them to me by email? Or, if possible, you can leave them on the forum, and I will come check regularly.
  In any case, I already thank you for what you have found, and if I can get the rest of the lyrics, that would be awesome!!!
  Best regards, Bullou

la_bus

I am so happy to know that some people also know this song, or at least, like me, try to have the full lyrics.
Yes, my father used to sing this song (which made a lot of people laugh, it must be said, it's so well put together) at weddings. Now, my father has passed away but did not leave the lyrics to this song. Plus, my niece (my father's granddaughter) got married last week and I would have loved to sing it to her, to them, the newlyweds. Because I am sure that if my father had still been around, he would have been delighted to sing to them.
Anyway, I see that other families know this song.
So if we could have the rest, that would be really great.
But even reading the first lines, it's really pleasant, it warms the heart.
