Picture 1: Quarters in Paris.
\nThe German force advances victorious in all
\nAnd on the far horizon, the towers of Paris call.
\nBut the French have forts that ring the city; they\u2019re there at every pass
\nTheir fire slows our way ahead, but we take them all at last.
\nIn Paris we find a place to stay, as nice as can be found,
\nAnd rest, and play, write letters home that tell of our renown.<\/p>\n
Picture 2: Paris.
\nAnd when the forts were taken, we stood upon their heights
\nWe saw with awe the magnificence of Paris big and bright.
\nThere it lies with all its towers, that proud and glorious name,
\nWe looked for hours upon it and will never be the same.
\nHans hears his heart beat stronger, he senses the goal is near.
\nHe waves his helmet above him and lets out a joyous cheer.<\/p>\n
Picture 3: Good Camaraderie.
\nBut on the way to Paris there\u2019s fighting all the way
\nAnd many a young man with his life does pay.
\nEven Hans is sorely wounded and sinks then to the ground
\nBut a rider pulls him from the field and makes him safe and sound.
\nWhen the wound is partly healed, Hans will wait no more.
\nHe takes his gun and hurries back to fight in this glorious war.<\/p>\n
Picture 4: Christmastime Before Paris
\nThe fighting never seems to end, as Christmastime is near.
\nBut then a pause and quiet reigns, which now we hold quite dear.
\nIn enemy land Hans will celebrate the Yuletide
\nWith a little tree and all his comrades at his side.
\nWhen he looks at the twinkling lights, he feels a bit of sorrow
\nAnd thinks of home where he wishes he were tomorrow.
\nPicture 5: Fighting the Partisans.<\/p>\n
But the war continues its bloody and goes on far and wide
\nAnd worst of all, new enemies appear on every side.
\nEven the farmers in some locales take part in the fight
\nThey shoot at us most cowardly while hiding out of sight.
\nAnd sometimes Hans is the target of their play,
\nBut he fears them not and always can chase them away.<\/p>\n
Picture 6: Bloody Payback.
\nHans was once attacked by such a band and to them a lesson he did teach.
\nHe fought bravely and beat every one of them within his reach.
\nDespite their numbers he chased them away
\nAnd takes their leader captive, taking him to the general.
\nHe\u2019s then taken to the camp where justice is met
\nAnd the cowardly murderer meets his end.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
