Lyrics

Fleur-de-Lis
©2006 Burton/Lurgio

 
V1
Conceived on the Riviera
An accident, I’m told
Traveled a thousand places
Before I was ten years old

My mother never married
Took what she could and left
Claimed she merely borrowed
It was not at all like theft

Chorus
Fleur-de-Lis
Daughter of a flower child
Running wild & free
She named me Riviera
Call me Fleur-de-Lis

V2
I’ve seen my mother suffer
Through some fault of her own
She followed an uncertain heart 
For she was born to roam

I’ve had a hundred suitors
None that I would claim
Thus, I’ve maintained my honor
The purity of my name


Chorus
Fleur-de-Lis
Daughter of a flower child
Running wild & free
She named me Riviera
Call me Fleur-de-Lis

V3
Now, love you’ve come into my life
You’re only passing through
I’ve had my fill of roaming
High time at thirty-two

If you should pass this way again
And you stay to marry me
I’ll give you all the love I hold….
I will surrender Fleur-de-Lis

Chorus
Fleur-de-Lis
Daughter of a flower child
Running wild & free
She named me Riviera
Call me Fleur-de-Lis
Tag-
She named me Riviera
Call me Fleur-de-Lis
