God, Country, and My Baby

They say we sail
tonight
And we may have to fight
I want with all my might to
stay

But I'll go for God, country, and my baby
You know I have to
go
And, dear, I'll miss you so

For God, country, and my
baby
Please write me every day, every day that I'm away
And though I'll
be alone across the Rhine
I'll dream about you, dear, and know you're
mine

BRIDGE: And if I ever need you, I'll close my eyes and see
you
Your lips, your kiss, I'll need them so

I'll go for God, country,
and my baby
Sure, as these teardrops burn, I promise to return
And when
I'm home, I'll cling to the arms of my baby

And when I'm home, I'll stay
in the arms of my baby
