| Intro: |
 |
  |
| When they poured across the border |
| |
| I was cautioned to surrender |
 |
| This I could not do |
 |
| I took my gun and vanished |
| |
| I have changed my name so often |
| |
| I've lost my wife and children |
| |
| But I have many friends |
|
| And some of them are with me |
| |
| An old woman gave us shelter |
| |
| Kept us hidden in the garret |
| |
| Then the soldiers came |
|
| She died without a whisper |
| |
| There were three of us this morning |
| |
| I'm the only one this evening |
| |
| But I must go on |
|
| The frontiers are my prison |
| |
| Oh, the wind, the wind is blowing |
| |
| Through the graves the wind is blowing |
| |
| Freedom soon will come |
|
| Then we'll come from the shadows |
| |
| Les Allemands e'taient chez moi |
| |
| Ils me dirent, "Signe toi" |
| |
| Mais je n'ai pas peur |
|
| J'ai repris mon arme |
| |
| J'ai change' cent fois de nom |
| |
| J'ai perdu femme et enfants |
| |
| Mais j'ai tant d'amis |
|
| J'ai la France entie're |
| |
| Un vieil homme dans un grenier |
| |
| Pour la nuit nous a cache' |
| |
| Les Allemands l'ont pris |
|
| Il est mort sans surprise |

| |
| Oh, the wind, the wind is blowing |
| |
| Through the graves the wind is blowing |
| |
| Freedom soon will come |
|
| Then we'll come from the shadows |
| Ending: |
| Gm Bb Bb Bb x4 |
