SHE WORE A YELLOW RIBBON
(Chant de marche chanté par l'armée de l'Ouest)
- Around her hair she wore a yellow ribbon
- She wore it in the spring time, in the early month of May
- And if you asked her why the heck she wore it
- She'd say she wore it for her soldier who was far, far away
- Far away
- Far away
- She wore it for her soldier who was far, far away
- Around the block she pushed a baby carriage
- She pushed it in the spring time, in the early month of May
- And if you asked her why the heck she pushed it
- She'd say she pushed it for her soldier who was far, far away
- Far away
- Far away
- She pushed it for her soldier who was far, far away
- Behind the door, her father kept a crossbow
- She kept it in the spring time, in the early month of May
- And if you asked her why the heck she kept it
- She'd say she kept it for her soldier who was far, far away
- Far away
- Far away
- She kept it for her soldier who was far, far away
- Around his grave she laid the pretty flowers
- She laid them in the spring time, in the early month of May
- And if you asked her why the heck she laid them
- She'd say she laid them for her soldier who was far, far away
- Far away
- Far away
- She laid them for her soldier who was far, far away
