Lorraine Verse: Beside a campfire gleaming, a grenadier was dreaming, His thoughts went back again to other years, Night shadows found him and as they gathered around him tenderly he murmured through his tears. Refrain: Lorraine, Lorraine, my beautiful Alsace Lorraine, you’re in my heart forever to remain, I see your village steeple, your quaint old fashioned people, and I wouldn’t care if I could be there again, Lorraine, Heart of France, part of France, someday when all of my worries are through, I’m coming to you
Lorraine, Lorraine, O welcome me home once again. To live and die in my Alsace Lorraine. Verse: He dreamt that he was straying among the children playing, And often kissed his mother’s tears away, But ah, the waking! How his sad heart it was breaking, how he wished that he could dream for aye. Refrain
