Sending The Old Man Home |
| They’re sending the old man home |
| Back where the buffalo roam |
| Out in Pacific they say he was the best |
| Now he’s in his «civies"headin' home like all the rest |
| He’ll never forget Rosa Lee |
| Or sleepless nights he fought upon the sea |
| He’ll only have the memories |
| Or great books by James Jones |
| `Cause they’re sending the old man home |
| Far away |
| Far away |
| Another life so very far away |
| They’ll tear down the officers clubs |
| And write off the overdue subs |
| So let’s drink to their memories |
| Our heroes and our pals |
| To those crazy navy flyers |
| To those swell Hawaiian gals |
| The sailors will dance in the street |
| Then they’ll mothball the whole damn fleet |
| We’ll only have the picture books |
| Of land and sea and foam |
| `Cause they’re sending the old man home |
