Le chant des canons

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

L'un c'était Jim, et l'autre c'était John

Leur sergent c'était Georgie Carlson

Au régiment peu importe d'où l'on vient

Si l'on marche si l'on marche tout va bien

{Refrain}

Le canon tonne

Nos pas résonnent

Du Gange au Malabar

Chaud ou froid, soif ou faim

La mort vient à la fin

Ni plus tôt ni plus tard

Que l'ennemi soit blanc ou noir

Cela t'est bien égal, si tu dois crever ce soir

Johnny trouvait le whisky fade

Et jimmy avait le ventre bien malade

Alors Georgie les pris par le bras

Tous les trois on avancera ou on crèvera

{Au refrain}

Jim fut tué, et Jimmy est mort

Et Georgie de son dernier sommeil dort

Mais pour se battre on trouvera

Toujours du sang, du sang rouge qui coulera

{Refrain}
