(E. Ray Goetz and Irving Berlin)
|
[1st verse:]
|
Girlie, cuddle near me
|
Girlie, won't you hear me?
|
I've been feeling blue
|
Ring the final curtain
|
For I'm more than certain
|
I'm in love with you
|
Like my Yankee Father
|
Girlie, I would rather die than prove untrue
|
Fearless, undenying, Yankee never dying
|
Love I bear for you
|
|
[Refrain:]
|
Red, White and Blue, love
|
Real all for you, love
|
All through and through, love
|
Real Yankee Doodle Doo, love
|
Honest and true love
|
I bring to you, love
|
Old Kentucky, Alabama
|
Mississippi, Lou'siana
|
Yankee love
|
|
[2nd verse:]
|
Girlie, flags are waving
|
My poor heart's behaving
|
Like a house on fire
|
Church-bells gayly ringing
|
Mean I'll soon be bringing
|
Home my heart's desire
|
Thoughts of care or sorrow
|
Will be dead tomorrow when you wear my ring
|
Ere the morn arouses
|
From the tops of houses
|
To the world I'll sing
|
