Show DARLING, I AM COMING BACK (From the Ogden Standard) Writing home from Coblenz W. 'Hal Farr informs his sister, Mrs. D. O. Winter, that the American boys 'have a new song which they have substituted for the 'Watch pn the Rhine.' It is as follows, and is sung to the tune of 'Silver Threads Among the Gold:" Darling I am coming back, Silver threads among the black Now 'that peace in Europe nears, I'll be home in seven years. I'll drop in on you some night, With my whiskers long and white. ' Yes, the war is over dear. And we're coming home I hear. Home again, with you once more Say by nineteen twenty-four. Once I thought by now I'd be iSalling home across the sea Back to where you sit and pine, But I'm stuck here on the Rhine. You can hear the gang all curse. War is hell, but peace is worse. When the next war comes around In the front ranks I'll be found. I'll rush in again pellmell, Yes, I will like hell, like hell. |
