THE
LEGEND OF FRENCHIE KING
(LES PETROLEUSES)
The
Legend of Frenchie King
Music by Francis Lai. Lyrics by Hal Shaper
|
Oh, what a man was Frenchie,
Frenchie King, the legends recall.
Oh, what a man was Frenchie,
Frenchie King, was King of them all.
There where each man was a battler,
Frenchie King had the sting of a rattler,
so they sing.
Thanks to the trains he'd hold up,
banks used to kinda fold up.
That's why they call that Frenchie "King".
Think if you can of Frenchie,
Frenchie King who once rode the plains.
Oh, what a man was Frenchie,
But the song is all that remains.
Frenchie King, Frenchie King,
Frenchie King, that they sing of
was King of the West, Frenchie King !
