///
A soldier boy has gone Across the sea I'm so sad and lonely As I can be I received a photo Just the other day Of a soldier boy Who is far away Said that he would come back In a year or two Told me not to cry He'd always be true He said Fear not, my sweet But have faith, in me For I'll, return From port, the sea I will be so happy On that grand and glorious day When you come home to me And the U.S.A.
