Dear Sol Zeller,

I was searching through Google looking for music/chords for "The River Seine" and came across this site. I also did not know the exact title, author, etc.

I sang this song on stage in Jr. High School (1960's)for a French class and have since lost the sheet music. I remember the words (as I sang them)and since it appears that you are still frequenting this site, I will list them here. --By the way, may I ask where you first heard of this song and why you're interested in it?

I heard a love song in Paris
It's one I shall never forget

Somehow my memories cling to
The theme of that warm chauconette

It's one that Pariesienne lovers
sing to their mademoiselles

It's more than a tune it's a legend
And here is the story it tells:

You will find your love in Paris
When you walk along the Seine

You will fall in love in Paris
It's a river of champagne

There's an old romantic legend
That's been told for hundreds of years

When you lose your love in Paris
Then the Seine is filled with

River, river, river of tears
