God, Country And My Baby

Johnny Burnette

They say we sail tonight

And we may have to fight

I want with all my

Might to stay

But I'll go for God

Country, and my baby

You know I have to go

And, dear, I'll miss you so

For God, country and my baby

Please write me every day

Every day that I'm away

And though I'll be

Alone across the Rhine

I'll dream about you, dear

And know you're mine

And if I ever need you

I'll close my eyes and see you

Your lips, your kiss

I'll need them so

I'll go for God

Country, and my baby

Sure as these teardrops burn

I promise to return

And when I'm home

I'll cling to the

Arms of my baby

And when I'm home

I'll stay in the

Arms of my baby
