My Tambourine Girl 1919

I'm in love with a beautiful maid
sweet as a girlie could be,
out in Flanders she came to my aid
a Salvatian lassie is she.

Strange to say I'd met her before,
in the city's mad whirl
'ere we thought of going to war,
I called her my tambourine girl.

I met her on Broadway
with a tambourine in her hand
"Follow on, follow on!"
was her solemn cry
to the passers by,
I wanted to tell her
but I feared she'd not understand,
I bid a fond goodbye to her then.
One day in France
I met her again
and I told her that I loved her
out in no man's land.

I met her on Broadway
with a tambourine in her hand
"Follow on, follow on!"
was her solemn cry
to the passers by,
I wanted to tell her
but I feared she'd not understand,
I bid a fond goodbye to her then.
One day in France
I met her again
and I told her that I loved her
out in no man's land.
