The Soldier's Sweetheart - Jimmie Rodgers[00:00:00]
Once I had a sweetheart[00:00:02]
A sweetheart brave and true[00:00:08]
His hair was dark and curly[00:00:14]
His loving eyes were blue[00:00:20]
He told me that he loved me[00:00:26]
And he often proved it so[00:00:31]
And he often came to see me[00:00:37]
When the evening sun was low[00:00:43]
But fate took him away[00:00:51]
To this awful German war[00:00:56]
And when he came to say goodbye[00:01:02]
My heart did overflow[00:01:08]
He says "Goodbye little darling[00:01:14]
To France I must go"[00:01:20]
He takes the golden finger ring[00:01:29]
And placed he it on my hand[00:01:34]
Said "Remember me little darling[00:01:40]
When I'm in no man's land"[00:01:46]
He promised he would write to me[00:01:53]
That promise he's kept true[00:01:58]
And when I read this letter friend[00:02:04]
I pray the war is through[00:02:10]
The second letter I got from him[00:02:17]
The war was just ahead[00:02:23]
The third one wrote by his captain[00:02:30]
My darling dear was dead[00:02:35]
I'll keep all of his letters[00:02:41]
I'll keep his gold ring too[00:02:47]
And I'll always live a single life[00:02:52]
For the soldier who was so true[00:02:58]
