I Have Come To Say Goodbye Composer(s): Andrew Carp
I have come to say good bye, Mary, darling For America, I sure must do my part Now be brave and do not cry, Mary, darling Though this parting almost breaks your heart I know you will be lonely, Mary darling I know that you will never cease to care My thoughts will ever be of you, dear When I'm in the trenches over there
'T Is for freedoms cause, this strife, Mary, darling For our liberty, On land and on the sea I would gladly give my life, Mary, darling Fighting for the world's democracy With conscience right I'm ready, Mary darling When duty calls a soldier must obey And if I am spared I'll return, dear Back to the good old U.S.A.
At evening I'll lie a-dreaming Dreaming of thee When o'er the sea In fancy I'll see you waiting Waiting at home, sweet home for me
