JEANNET AND JEANNOT. English, Country Dance Tune and March (cut time). D Major (Turner ms.): G Major (Barber). Standard tuning (fiddle). ABCA. "Jeannot and Jeannot" can be found in the c. 1842-1852 music manuscript collection of Sussex musician Michael Turner. The third strain is a quotation from the French "La Marseillaise."

"Jeannette and Jeannot; or, The Conscript's Departure" [Roud No. 391] was a popular mid-19th century song printed on broadsides and included in period songsters. It is an anti-war songs of sorts, with the singer lamenting her lover's imminent departure to be a soldier, and her wish that she had the power to end war. The words were by Charles Jefferys to a tune by Charles W. Glover.

You are going far away,
Far away from poor Jeannette,
There is no one left to love me now,
And you, too, may forget;
But my heart will be with you,
Wherever you may go,
Can you look me in the face,
And say the name....Jeannot?

However, Glover's tune is different than the one Michael Turner entered in his music manuscript collection. This 1848 drawing by John Brandard depicts Jeanette and Jeannot farewelling each other.
