Good-Bye |
My heart is broken |
But what care I? |
Such pride inside me has woken |
I’ll try my best not to cry |
By and by |
When the final farewells must be spoken |
I’ll join the Legion |
That’s what I’ll do |
And in some far distant region |
Where human hearts are staunch and true |
I shall start my life anew |
Good-bye, it’s time |
I sought a foreign clime |
Where I may find |
There are hearts more kind |
Than I leave behind |
And so, I go |
To fight a savage foe |
Although I know that |
I’ll be sometimes missed by the girls I’ve kissed |
In some Abyssinian French Dominion |
I shall do my bit |
And fall for the flag if I must |
Where the desert sand is nice and handy |
I’ll be full of grit |
You won’t see my heels for the dust |
I’ll do or die |
You’ll know the reason why |
When told of bold Leopold’s last stand |
For the Fatherland |
Good-bye, it’s time |
I sought a foreign clime |
Where I may find |
There are hearts more kind |
Than I leave behind |
And so, I go |
To fight a savage foe |
Although I know that |
I’ll be sometimes misses by the girls I’ve kissed |
In some Abyssinian French Dominion |
I shall do my bit |
And fall for the flag if I must |
Where the desert sand is nice and handy |
I’ll be full of grit |
You won’t see my heels for the dust |
I’ll do or die |
You’ll know the reason why |
When told of bold Leopold’s last stand |
For the Fatherland |
Good-bye. |
Good-bye |
I wish you all a last Good-bye |
Good-bye. |
Good-bye |
I wish you all a last Good-bye |
