Show MOTHER - (By Sarah Martin.) Dear little Mother, your boy has been Called from you today, Called to the colors way over the sea To fight amid the fray. Dear little Mother, dry those tears And cheer your soldier boy, T'will only be a few short years, Then he'll come back with joy. It may not be for many a day That you'll see your loving son, But he'll come back and proud to sav Dear friends, this battle we've won. " No, dear little Mother, be content, For the one who has crossed the ea, He asked you, dear Mother, you gave your consent, To fight for freedom for you and for mo. Then when this terrible strife has fled, The battle of freedom is won, Your boy will not bo among tho dead, But come back to you, known as Uncle Sam's son. |
