VERSE 01: Dear sweetheart, I must go away,/My Country’s calling me;/And I have come to say “Goodbye.”/Before I cross the sea./So comfort dear old mother please,/And help her all you can,/For I am glad that I can go/And right for Uncle Sam. CHORUS: Goodbye, goodbye, dear sweetheart,/Goodbye, dear mother, too:/Goodbye, and may God bless you both and keep you safe and true./And when the war is over and skies again are blue,/If I am spared thru shot and shell,/Then I’ll come back to you. VERSE 02: And when I land in sunny France/With stars and stripes, so true;/I’ll think of those I love so well of, you with eyes of blue./And with new zeal and vigor then/I’ll do the best I can,/In trenches deep on Foreign fields/I’ll fight for Uncle Sam. | |
