Are you Vichy France
Or black beret wearing partisan.....
Leonard Cohen the Partisan......
When they poured a-cross the border I was cautioned to sur-render, this I could not do; I took my gun and van-ished.
I have changed my name so often, I've lost my wife and children but I have many fri-ends, 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 whis-per.
There were three of us this morning I'm the only one this evening but I must go on; The fron-tiers are my pri-son.
Oh, the wind, the wind is blowing, through the graves the wind is blowing, freedom soon will come; Then we'll come from the shad-ows.
They said, "Sign yourself," But I am not afraid I have retaken my weapon.
I have changed names a hundred times I have lost wife and children But I have so many friends I have all of France
An old man, in an attic Hid us for the night The Germans captured him He died without 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 shad-ows.
