A disgustingly misogynistic song by the great Georges Brassens, about a simple shepherdess who adopts an orphaned kitten and feeds it from her breast, incurring the wrath of the other village women, who resent the attention paid her by the village lads and kill the kitten.
Presented here with French lyrics only, to avoid wrath being heaped upon my head.
Georges Brassens - Brave Margot

Edit: I used to sing lustily (part of) the chorus before I understood the totality. To my shame.

Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose
Nothin' ain't worth nothin', but it's free
