VERSE 01: At a dock a transport was rocking,/Ev’ry chap from his cap to his stocking,/Dressed to “Kill”/To kill old Kaiser Bill/On the pier a dear little girlie,/With her tear-dimmed eyes/Time to go/Whistles blow/”Au Revoir” her Sweetheart cries: CHORUS: I’m coming back some day when the fray is over my darling./I know you’ll be true, dear/So I’ll never be blue, dear,/Across the foam in No Man’s land I’ll soon be fighting/But I know your lips are no man’s land but mine/I’m coming VERSE 02: As the boat sailed out thro’ the channel,/With two flags she had made out of flannel,/From the pier/She wig wagged “Goodbye, dear”/Pretty soon he wig wagged an answer,/And the code she read/From her boy/Ship ahoy/This is what the wig wag said | |
