Lyrics

The Partisan

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 have lost my wife and children

But I have many friends

And some of them are with me

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

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
