Hello darling, this is the army,
|
I've just got the time to write,
|
Today we attack, there's no turning back,
|
The boys they're all ready for the fight.
|
|
Yes, I'm well but this place is like hell,
|
They call it Passchendaele,
|
In nineteen seventeen the war must be ending,
|
The General said this attack will not fail;
|
|
So I'm writing down this simple little melody
|
When you play it my love, think for me...
|
We'll be together in this song for you,
|
And it goes La la la... sing it darling... La la la...
|
|
They got old Bill and the Sergeant is still out there
|
Wounded in some shellhole,
|
They say this war will end all wars,
|
Oh God I really hope it will,
|
|
Oh how's old England, are they still singing
|
Those songs that we loved to sing,
|
When all this is over, we'll go sailing in Dover,
|
Catching fish like we used to with a string,
|
|
Oh I miss you, I miss you, I miss you,
|
If they get me my love you will know...
|
We'll always be together in this song for you...
|
|
And it goes La la la... I have to go now...
|
Take care of yourself my love.
