Arthur Fields - Oh Frenchy (1918, Edison Cylinder) текст песни

Rosie Green was a village queen who enlisted as a nurse
She waited for a chance
And left for France with an Ambulance,
Rosie Green met a chap named Jean, a soldier from Paree,
When he said “Parlez vous, my pet” he said “I will, but not just yet.”
When he'd speak in French to her, she'd answer lovingly

Oh! Frenchy,
Oh Frenchy, Frenchy
Although your language is so new to me,
When you say, “Oui, oui, la la”
“We” means you and me, la la,
Oh! Frenchy, Oh Frenchy, Frenchy
you've won my love with your bravery
March on, March on, with any girl you see
But when you la la la la la,
Oh, Frenchy, your la la la's for me.

Rosie Green married Soldier Jean when his furlough time arrived
She said “Go pack your grip
We'll take a trip on a big ship,”
Rosie Green took her soldier Jean home somewhere in Maine,
They say her rural Pa and Ma, refused to do that oo la la,
But when she's alone with him you'll hear this same refrain.

Oh! Frenchy,
Oh Frenchy, Frenchy
Although your language is so new to me,
When you say, “Oui, oui, la la”
“We” means you and me, la la,
Oh! Frenchy, Oh Frenchy, Frenchy
you've won my love with your bravery
March on, March on, with any girl you see
But when you la la la la la,
Oh, Frenchy, your la la la's for me.
