This Quebecois folk song, J'entends le moulin, was originally known in France as Mon pare a fait batir maison. Ernest Gagnon, in his Chansons populaires du Canada (1880), maintains that it is well-known in the French provinces of Saintonge and L'Aunis. The text appears at times to be rhyme with "-tends" of "J'entends".
