"My Sailor Boy"
My sailor boy, in navy blue
Shall sail the oceans wide,
But when this horrid war is through,
He'll be here by my side.
Down lover's lane seems long ago,
We wandered hand in hand,
Now overseas my sailor goes
So far from his dear land.
While he for peace and freedom fights,
My brother close beside,
I'll pray for him through lonely nights,
My loneliness I'll hide.
My sailor boy will never know
The worry or the care,
The many times I prayed to God
To guide him over there.
But when the battle's won and time
Has given back our joy,
I'll live as happy as a rhyme,
With my dear sailor boy.
