Send Me Away With a Smile

歌詞

Little girl don't cry I must say goodbye Don't you hear the bugle call? And the fife and drum beats all With the flag wave over us all Tho I love you so It is time to go And the soldier in me you'll find When on land or sea Many boys like me You would not have me stay behind? So, send me away with a smile little girl Brush the tears from eyes of brown. It's all for the best And I'm off with the rest With the boys from my hometown. It may be forever we part little girl But it may be for only a while. But if fight here we must Then in God is our trust. So, send me away with a smile. When I leave you dear Give me words of cheer To recall in times of pain. They will come towards me And will seem to be Like the sunshine after rain. Amid shot and shell I'd remember well You must be a soldier too. And through this war I am fighting For My country, my home, and you. It may be forever we part little girl But it may be for only a while. But if fight here we must Then in God is our trust. So, send me away with a smile.
