| ...Ah,ah,ah,ah, |
| A few months back, a young man |
| Who had just rearched seventeen |
| Waved "Good-bye" to the girl he loved (ra,ra,ra...) |
| He had become a Marine |
| As he waled down the dock |
| With his head up in the air (ra,ra,ra...) |
| 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; (ra,ra,ra...) |
| "Will she be true to me ?" |
| As he stared at the picture |
| He was holding in his hand (ra,ra,ra...) |
| Tear drops filled his eyes |
| And for the very last time |
| He heard her whisper, |
| "Good-bye,my darling,good-bye" |
| Lonely,Lonely,Lonely soldier boy |
| (Good-bye,my darling,good-bye) |
| Now his ship was returning |
| The anchor soon would be down |
| They were coming in the dock (ra,ra,ra...) |
| People were all around |
| He searched through the crowd |
| For that certain little face (ra,ra,ra...) |
| Nowhere could it be found |
| So,he packed up his gear |
| Like a lonely soldier boy |
| And headed off to town |
| Lonely,lonely,Lonely soldier boy |
