_ _ _ _ From _ a window on the floor of St.
Lennart
_ Many cells are blowing over the valley
_ And it's no surprise to us, les gentils gens
That the British have come now for Arcadie
Oh, no, no, Francine, don't cry
Dry your eyes, for I must go
_ And we fought them on the Jeunet d'Almont-Caen
As they climbed up to the plains of Abraham
[A] Where are you, Francine?
My eyes are blinded by [E] the smoke, the powder and the dust
Where [A] are you, _ Francine?
Our lives are shattered by the [E] rush of the Redcoats' forward thrust
With _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ the guns they pounded the blue sky to black
_ And the farmers fought with us with blade in hand
When a bullet hit my calf in the back
_ We had lost our leader and strength of command
[A] Oh, [E]
no, no, Francine, don't cry
Dry your eyes, for you must go
_ On a ship that sails away to a new land
I'll soon be with you, Louisiana
_ In [A] the dust I lay with no feeling in my [E] face
_ And _ _ [A] my friend is looking very hurt there in the [E] dirt
With a bloodied soldier's shirt _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Oh, no, no, Francine, don't cry
Dry your eyes, for you are now
Far away from the land of Acadie
_ In Louisiana, where we will be free _ _ _
