Fantine’s Arrest

A moment of your time, Javert

I do believe this womans tale

Monsieur le mayor

You've done your duty, let her be

She needs a doctor, not a jail!

Monsieur le mayor

Can this be?

Where will she end?

This child, without a friend

I've seen your face before

Show me some way to help you

How have to grieve in such a place as this?

Monsieur don't mock me now I pray

It's hard enough I've lost my pride

You let your foreman send me away

Yes! You were there and turned aside

I never did no wrong

Is it true what I have done?

My daughter's close to dying

To an innocent soul

If there's a god above

Had I only known then

He'd let me die instead

In his name, my task has just begun

I will take her to the hospital

Monsieur le Mayor

I will see it done
