 Jammes was the original author of Georges Brassens's song "La Prière" ("The Prayer").The lyrics were taken from the poem "Les Mystères douloureux" ("The Agonies of Christ") published in the collection "L'Église habillée de feuilles" ("The Church Clothed in Leaves") (1906); Brassens changed some of the words to make the text more rhythmic.Jammes was known to have an ardent passion for field sports, especially game hunting.
