Chorus: Say, darling, say, whenl'm far away Sometimes you may think of me dear, Bright sunny days will soon fade away, Remember what I say, and be true, dear. I'm off to the war, to the war I To fight for my country and you dear; But if I should fall in vain, I would The blessing of my country and you, dear. Chorus: When the war is o'er to you I'd return, Back to my country and you, dear, But If I be slain, you may seek me in vain Upon the battle-field you will find me.
