Don't Cry Frenchy, Don't Cry 1919

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 31 Jan 2003

They met while clouds were
hanging over Flanders
A soldier's glance; a war romance;
but now he's leaving her alone in Flanders,
and he softly whispers to his maid of France:

Don't cry, Frenchy, don't cry,
when you kiss me goodbye,
I will always keep the Fleurdelis, dear,
you gave to me, dear,
so dry your eye.
Sometime, Frenchy, sometime,
we'll hear wedding bells chime.
Oh! Please don't cry, Frenchy, don't cry,
don't cry; until we meet again,
goodbye, goodbye!

Don't cry, Frenchy, don't cry,
when you kiss me goodbye,
I will always keep the Fleurdelis, dear,
you gave to me, dear,
so dry your eye.
Sometime, Frenchy, sometime,
we'll hear wedding bells chime.
Oh! Please don't cry, Frenchy, don't cry,
don't cry; until we meet again,
goodbye, goodbye!

The peaceful stars
will heal the scars of Flanders,
one tiny spark; will light the dark;
for it will bring a message back to Flanders,
just a word of love to you,
my Joan of Arc:

Don't cry, Frenchy, don't cry,
when you kiss me goodbye,
I will always keep the Fleurdelis, dear,
you gave to me, dear,
so dry your eye.
Sometime, Frenchy, sometime,
we'll hear wedding bells chime.
Oh! Please don't cry, Frenchy, don't cry,
don't cry; until we meet again,
goodbye, goodbye!

Don't cry, Frenchy, don't cry,
when you kiss me goodbye,
I will always keep the Fleurdelis, dear,
you gave to me, dear,
so dry your eye.
Sometime, Frenchy, sometime,
we'll hear wedding bells chime.
Oh! Please don't cry, Frenchy, don't cry,
don't cry; until we meet again,
goodbye, goodbye!
