VERSE 01: Though you're leaving me today, never fear/ In my thoughts you'll always be ever near/ There's a tear in every eye,/ As the boys go marching by,/ But they're out to do or die, hear them cheer/ All the things you planned to do,/ I am sure they will come true,/ And I'll watch and wait for you, over here. CHORUS: "Au-revoir"but not "Good-bye," Soldier boy/ Brush that tear drop from your eye, Soldier Boy/ When you're on the deep blue sea,/ will you sometimes think of me?/ I'll be waiting anxiously, Soldier boy/ Tho' we're many miles apart, Soldier boy/ Keep my picture near your heart, Soldier boy/ When you've won your victory,/ God will bring you back to me,/ "Au-revoir" but not "Good-bye," Solider Boy. VERSE 02: Though your mother old and grey 'waits you here/ I will comfort her each day, never fear/ We all love you and you know/ That we're proud to see you go,/ But we're goin' to miss you so, over here/ When your fighting days are through,/ For the old Red White and Blue,/ We'll be here to welcome you, with a cheer. | |
