Lyrics
Though you're leaving me today, solider boy
And you're going far away, solider boy
There's a tear drop in your eye
For it's hard to say goodbye
But you're out to do or die, solider boy
All the things they plan to do
I am sure will all come true
And I'll watch and wait for you, solider boy
Au revoir but not goodbye, solider boy
Brush that teardrop from your eye, solider boy
When you're on the deep blue sea
Will you sometime think of me?
I'll be waiting anxiously, solider boy
Though we're many miles apart, solider boy
Keep my picture near your heart, solider boy
When you've won your victory
God will bring you back to me
Au revoir but not goodbye, solider boy
I am proud to see you go, solider boy
And it makes me love you so, solider boy
Though your mother old and grey
I will cheer her up each day
And we'll always hope and pray solider boy
When your fighting days are through
For the old red, white, and blue
We'll be here to welcome you, solider boy
Au revoir but not goodbye, solider boy
Brush that teardrop from your eye, solider boy
When you're on the deep blue sea
Will you sometime think of me?
I'll be waiting anxiously, solider boy
Though we're many miles apart, solider boy
Keep my picture near your heart, solider boy
When you've won your victory
God will bring you back to me
Au revoir but not goodbye, solider boy
