VERSE 01: The Sammies are going across the deep seas,/And mother I must go too/For it’s my Country that’s calling,/In line I’ll be falling,/And fight for the Red, White and Blue/To poor bleeding France we will soon pay our debt,/It’s a debt we’ve owed for years/Now dear Mother do not cry, kiss your soldier Boy goodbye,/There’ll be millions of Volunteers. CHORUS: Goodbye Mother, So long Dad, Hello Uncle Sam./I’m only one of your loyal sons,/Who honor and obey your command./Our great grand daddies fought for liberty,/And its up to all of us to lend a hand/For now that we’re in this fight,/My country wrong or right,/So Goodbye Mother, So long Dad, Hello Uncle Sam. VERSE 02: When this war is over and we are at peace,/Come back to your Dad and me/But now you know that they need you,/Go lad and God speed you,/For soon we must have Victory/My Country we give you our one darling boy,/That’s as much as we can do/Do your bit and never fear, fight for all that you hold dear,/The whole world will be watching you. | |
