Soldier's Plea

While I'm away, darling how often do you think of me? Remember, I'm over here, fighting to keep us free Just be my little girl and always be true And I'll be a faithful soldier boy to you They say I'm now a man and should be spotted hard But I don't think I'll make it, dear, if you don't play your part Just say you'll be my girl and always be true And I'll be a faithful soldier boy to you INSTRUMENTAL Soldier boy to you We all must do our share and darling I don't mind The only thing that's greed in me is leaving you behind Just say you'll be my girl and always be true And I'll be a loving soldier boy, I'll be a faithful soldier boy I'll be a loving soldier boy to you
