Thread: Miss Pavilichenko

Since it is so boring here lately, I have decided to post the lyrics to this song written by Woody Guthrie, about a famous Soviet Sniper. One of their many women snipers who protected their Russian homeland while taking revenge for the loss of their brothers and fathers.

Miss Pavilichenkos well known to fame;
Russia's your country, fighting is your game;
The whole world will love her for a long time to come,
For more than three hundred nazis fell by your gun.
CHORUS:
Fell by your gun, yes,
Fell by your gun
For more than three hundred nazis fell by your gun.
Miss Pavlichenko's well known to fame;
Russia's your country, fighting is your game;
Your smile shines as bright as any new morning sun.
But more than three hundred nazidogs fell by your gun.
CHORUS
In your mountains and canyons quiet as the deer.
Down in your bigtrees [SIC] knowing no fear.
You lift up your sight. And down comes a hun.
And more than three hundred nazidogs fell by your gun.
CHORUS
In your hot summer's heat, in your cold wintery snow,
In all kinds of weather you track down your foe;
This world will love your sweet face the same way I've done,
'Cause more than three hundred nazzy [SIC] hound fell by your gun.
CHORUS
I'd hate to drop in a parachute and land an enemy in your land.
If your Soviet people make it so hard on invadin' men;
I wouldn't crave to meet that wrong end of such a pretty lady's gun
If her name was Pavlichenko, and mine Three O One.
CHORUS

Is that link stuffed? or is it just my dumb ass computer.

The link is fine.

Thank you for this song. I have been doing alot of research on pavlechenko and have learned alot of interesting things about her. Here is a picture...

The museum at Victory Park in Moscow has a great display on the women snipers of WWII. Also great displays of all the Russian women who fought in the war.
