| ...Ah,ah,ah,ah, | |
| A few months back, a young man | |
| Who had just rearched seventeen | |
| Waved "Good-bye" to the girl he loved | |
| He had become a Marine | |
| As he waled down the dock | |
| With his head up in the air | |
| Carrying his shoulders high | |
| He heard from the crowd | |
| a faint little whisper | |
| "Good-bye,my darling,good-bye" | |
| Lonely,Lonely,Lonely soldier boy | |
| "Good-bye,my darling,good-bye" | |
| As his ship pulled away | |
| And headed for the open sea | |
| The thought ran through his mind; | |
| "Will she be true to me? | |
| As he stared at the picture | |
| He was holding in his hand | |
| Tear drops filled his eyes | |
| And for the very last time | |
| He heard her whisper, | |
| "Good-bye,my darling,good-bye" | |

| "Good-bye,my darling,good-bye" | |
| Now his ship was returning | |
| The anchor soon would be down | |
| They were coming in the dock | |
| People were all around | |
| He searched through the crowd | |
| For that certain little face | |
| Nowhere could it be found | |
| So,he packed up his gear | |
| Like a lonely soldier boy | |
| And headed off to town | |
