Lyrics
My Madelon of Paree,
She’ll laugh and dance and sing,
To cheer the weary soldier
At his homecoming.
A little room together,
An hour of love to spend,
Comme ca your arm around me,
Oh, mon ami, my friend.
But she ah she remembers
That other love and joy,
The first, the best, the dearest,
Tired soldier boy;
A narrow room alone now,
Rain on the roof above,
And he will sleep forever,
Oh, mon ami, my love.

My Madelon of Paree,
She does not sit and grieve,
But sings away her sorrow
To cheer the soldiers’ leave.
For life is short and funny
And love must have an end,
An hour may be forever,
Oh, mon ami, my friend.
For life is short and funny
And love must have an end,
An hour may be forever,
Mon ami, my friend.
