TILL DADDY COMES HOME.
Dear little mother, why do you cry? Don't spoil the pretty blue in your eye. Is it because a year to-day A great big ship took Daddy away To fight across the sea ? I'll take care of you, Mother, Till Daddy comes home. Pretend I'm a man, surely you can, Till Daddy comes home. He promised me from Flanders' - A helmet and a gun. He always keeps his promise.; I know my Daddy will come. Dear little Mother, look up I say I -'. Such a fine battleship out in the bay ; Someone is landing there on the quay, And swinging from his shoulder, I see; A helmet and a gun. I'll take care of yon, Mother,. s Till Daddy comes home. Down at the pier cheering you hear For Daddy's come home. No longer can I be a man, But just your little son; So dry your pretty eyes, dear, For, see,.my, Daddy has come.
