Lyrics
Fleur De Lis Verse: Once in our fight for liberty we found a friend across the see Brave Lafayette and Washington fought side by side and won No wintry wind or summer breeze can blow away the memories Of friendship full from o’er the sea from the land of the Fleur de Lis Refrain: Fleur de Lis flow’r of France truest friend we ever knew America awaits her chance to pay her debt to you Your boys and our boys together will advance To victory and liberty for the Fleur de Lis of France Verse: Each Yankee boy is taught in school he must obey the golden rule And in the book of history learns why his country’s free He also learns about a friend he vow’d to stand by to the end He longs to make the vow come true that our forefathers made to you Refrain
