Marianne with a rooster hat

Not that I collect roosters now, but I have always liked this particular piece

  • I danced with Linda
    I danced with Jean
    I danced with Cindy
    Then I suddenly see

    Marianne with the shaky hands
    What they've done to her man
    Those shaky hands

    Marianne is so pretty
    The prettiest in the land
    Guys come from every city
    Just to shake her shaky hands

    Linda can cook
    Jean reads books
    Cindy can sew
    But I'd rather know

    Marianne with the shaky hands
    What they've done to her man
    Those shaky hands

    Marianne with the shaky hands
    What they've done to her man
    Those shaky hands

    Marianne with the shaky hands
    What they've done to her man
    Those shaky hands

    That is a real beauty, I have a fascination with the different versions of Marianne on French coins which has led to another collecting area for me French and French Colonies.

    Nice design, I've been looking for that one in a 50 mm size to go with the rest of my Marianne medals.
