JEANNETTE AND JEAUNOT

I am going far away, far away from poor Jeannette,
There is no one left to love me now, and you too may forget.
When you wear the jacket red, and the beautiful cockade,
I'm afraid you'll be forgetting all the promises you made.
But my heart shall still go with you wherever you do go,
Can you look me in the face, and say the same, Jeannot?

2............................................................
.............................................................
With your gun upon your shoulder, and your bayonet by your side,
You'll be taking some proud lady, and be making her your bride.
