JEANNETTE AND JEANNOT.
About forty years ago this was a very popular song. The music was accompanied by a picture representing a French soldier taking leave of a peasant girl, who is saying:—
“You are going far away, far away from poor Jeannette,
There’s no one left to love me now, and you, perhaps, may forget.
With your gun upon your shoulder, and your bayonet by your side,
You’ll be courting some fair lady, and making her your bride.”
