                      SONS OF

            GLORIOUS IRANCE

   AIR MY BOAT IS ON THE SHORE

The prussians we cast of victorious won by ean on sword &
lance               
Bat tell them they're not yet done with the gallant sons of
France
While a Frenchman lives upon the soil where first he drew hi,
breath
They will for France & liberty.til. he's in the arms of deaty

                              CHORUS—

Then raise your flag of liberty let you watch word be advance
And drive baek your tyrant fees from the glorious land of
France

At Saurbruek & W l seburg you done your duty well
But m any a gallant camrad. on the batlle field they fell
You
obly did avenge their idea. h though your lives we re ten
to one
And mids deathly showers O shot & shell you gallantly mar
chedd on

On the 18th day of Aagust a the battle O Sa an
You nobly s ood the press an fire le 4 on by brav MacMahen
Wi h the l ush blood flowing tbrn' is v ins he fought the pr
sions sore
But France to day with deep dismay his loss she does deplre

her's fil y| the ol prusian K ng he is not yet content
He wants three hundred million pound on Paris he is bent
Likewise the lal of the t pench free. t er are his turns of
peace
But six eet of gr nnd b y will g urdy get efcre the war wi
ceace         

Now France you kno W at to ax ect for the foe is at your
wa ls
Rec v .them well with e ha sep s mitrlle e sal sg
The thousan s o your c mr des now lie in the silent graves
Just let them knew while Cre chn en 'ii lives they never will be
slaves

We sincerely wish his horred work was nearly TV at an end
For there's many waves & mothers deari cow le ft without a
And or phans will ave cause t ton t e way the prnsians
did advanced
But they will u the c ay they cross'dt the Ring & fought with
with glorious france
