The Yankees came and went and broke
the heart of my kid sister Millicent.
The Yankee man came and went,
he broke the heart of my kid sister Millicent.
I paid no heed to what she spoke of,
not knowing she was so much in love.
When he tell she goodbye,
she kneeled down and started to cry.
Now don't go Joe, don't go,
you wouldn't know Joe, I love you so.
And when you're gone,
do do I can't go on without you.
So Joe, please Joe, don't go, oh Lord.
He look like a decent guy,
Millie do do,
darling don't cry.
Wiping her tears away,
baby listen what I have to say.
You know we have to part some day,
because I got me wife in the USA.
But all the talk was in vain,
Milly started crying again
Don't go,
Joe, don't go
You wouldn't know, but I love you so
And when you're gone, good-bye can't go on
Without you, so Joe, please don't go
Don't go
You
know Yankee love the sport Every
soldier got a girl in a different port
You could imagine how I surprised To see tears in the soldier's eyes
Soldiers and sailors don't cry So I know the girl getting mama guy
Instead of looking for gas,
she's so stupid She's telling the Yankee horse
Don't go, Joe, don't go
You wouldn't know, but I love you so
And when you're gone,
good-bye can't go on Without you,
so Joe,
please don't go
Oh Lord,
I'm gonna miss you, baby Don't go, Joe
The girl have nothing to eat She belly
big and ashamed for she only sweet
Like love talk is all she know She
ain't talk neither he ain't talk about
But when he gone,
Milly show me A big fat wallet with plenty money
She say her brain bigger than mine I was
crying but I picked the pocket same time
Don't go, Joe,
don't go
You wouldn't know, but I love you so
And when you're gone,
good-bye can't go on Without you,
so Joe, please don't go
Oh Lord, I'm gonna miss you, baby Don't go, Joe
