While I'm away, darling, I hope you'll think of me
Remember I'm over here, fighting to keep us free
Just be my little girl, and always be true
And I'll be a faithful soldier boy to you
They say I'm now a man, and should be started hard
But I don't think I'll make it, dear, if you don't play your part
Just say you'll be my girl, and always be true
And I'll be a faithful soldier boy to you
Soldier boy to you
We all must do our share, and I don't mind
The only thing that's grieving me is leaving you behind
Just say you'll be my girl, and always be true
You'll be my girl, and always be true
And I'll be a loving soldier boy
And I'll be a faithful soldier boy
And I'll be a loving soldier boy to you
Soldier boy to you
Soldier boy to you
Soldier boy to you
Soldier boy to you
Soldier boy to you
Soldier boy to you
Soldier boy to you
