Oh Florie

[Verse 1]
Mine heart, it broke in one little bits, and I'll tell you all what for
Mine sweetheart was a very patriotic girl and she drives me off with the war
I fight for her the battle of the flag as brave as ever I can
But a long time ago she nixes me and runs off with another man

[Chorus]
Oh, Florie (Florie, Florie), what makes you so unkind?
You went with Hans to Germany and left poor Schnapps behind

[Verse 2]
We marched all day and the rain come down just like old Noah's flood
I sleeps all night with my head on a rock and my feet all stuck in the mud
The nightmare comе and I cotch him by the tail, I dreams I sleep with a ghost
Next day, I was frozеn in the mud just like a barnyard goat

[Chorus]
Oh, Florie (Florie, Florie), what makes you so unkind?
You went with Hans to Germany and left poor Schnapps behind

[Verse 3]
They gives me hardtack bread to eat but likes to broke my jaw
Sometimes I split him with an iron wedge and sometimes with a saw
The beef, he was so salty, Lot's wife killed him, I know
And the general says they put him in the brine ten thousand years ago

[Chorus]
Oh, Florie (Florie, Florie), what makes you so unkind?
You went with Hans to Germany and left poor Schnapps behind

[Verse 4]
At last we takes a Southern town and hold him for one year
They puts red pepper in the sauerkraut and vinegar in the beer
I meets a lady on the street as pretty as one could be
I tries to kiss her rebel lips and hoch, she spit on me!

[Chorus]
Oh, Florie (Florie, Florie), what makes you so unkind?
You went with Hans to Germany and left poor Schnapps behind
