Seine

The Kingston Trio

The SeineThe Kingston Trio Written by Irving BurgessFrom their "At Large" LPThis song did not chart as a single(ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh)(ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh)One night along the river at St. Germaine de PreI first met my beloved at a small sidewalk cafeWe walked along the river, shadows passing byBut we only saw each other, the shining water, and the sky The Seine, the Seine, when will I again Meet her there, greet her there On the moonlit banks of the Seine?Standing there across the river 'mid sound of horn and tramIn all her quiet beauty, the Cathedral Notre DameAnd as we passed beside her I said a little prayerThat when this dream was over I'd awake and find you there The Seine, the Seine, when will I again Meet her there, greet her there On the moonlit banks of the Seine?We walked along the river till dawn was coming nighBeneath the Eiffel Tower we said our last goodbyeThere on that splendid morning I saw you all in tearsAnd the beauty of that hour will shine within me through the years The Seine, the Seine, when will I again Meet her there, greet her there On the moonlit banks of the Seine? The Seine, the Seine, when will I again Meet her there on the Seine?
