Lyrics:

Verse 1:
One day as morning shed its glow
Across the eastern sky,
A boy and girl in accents low,
In a garden said "Goodbye!"
She said, "Remember as you stray,
When each must do his share,
The flowers blooming here today
Are emblems over there!"

Chorus:
Somewhere in France is the Lily,
Close by the English Rose;
A Thistle so keen, and a Shamrock green,
And each loyal flow'r that grows.
Somewhere in France is a sweetheart,
Facing the battle's chance,
For the flow'r of our youth fights for freedom and truth
Somewhere in France.

Verse 2:
Each morning in that garden fair,
Where sweetest perfumes dwell,
The lassie whispers low a pray'r
For the flowr's she loves so well.
And over there as night draws near,
Amid the shot and flame,
Unto the flag he holds so dear,
A soldier breathes her name.
