| I gave my dog to Uncle Sam in 1943,
|
| He sailed across the sea, and died for Liberty,
|
| Now that you are sending Hero’s home, I just can’t understand,
|
| Why don’t you send my dog home Uncle Sam?
|
| And 'though no more he’ll lead me as he did in days of yore,
|
| He’ll never be a blind boy’s pal no more,
|
| But I know that he gets lonesome sleeping in some distant land,
|
| Please won’t you send my dog home Uncle Sam?
|
| I gave my dog to Uncle Sam, he was so strong and smart,
|
| We knew right from the start that we should do our part,
|
| They wrote he died a hero, t’was in the telegram,
|
| Please won’t you send my dog home Uncle Sam.
|
| He’ll sleep beneath Old Glory, right here on Daddy’s farm,
|
| I’ll be close by to keep him from all harm,
|
| No one knows how much' miss him & how lonesome now I am,
|
| Please won’t you send my dog home Uncle Sam? |
