Goodbye, From The White Horse Inn

歌詞

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 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, good-bye I wish you all a last good-bye Good-bye, good-bye I wish you all a last good-bye
