[1] Its hard to keep tears out of my [4] eyes
For this might [1] be our last good-[5]-bye
Your country calls [1] you to defend a great [4] land
So do your [1] part just [5] like a [1] man
Down where the river bend
With God's help we'll meet again
Under the same ol' sycamore tree
Proud of each other and the land of the free
I'll go down to the ocean blue
It's just as close as I came to you
This ol' ocean may keep us apart
But it won't keep you, Dear, out of my heart
If the worst should happen and the poppies should wave
Over your far distant lonely grave
All the rest of my life I'll spend in prayer
I'll meet you in heaven, there'll be no wars there
[1] Its hard to keep tears out of my [4] eyes
For this might [1] be our last good-[5]-bye
Your country calls [1] you to defend a great [4] land
So do your [1] part just [5] like a [1] man
Down where the river bend
With God's help we'll meet again
Under the same ol' sycamore tree
Proud of each other and the land of the free
I'll go down to the ocean blue
It's just as close as I came to you
This ol' ocean may keep us apart
But it won't keep you, Dear, out of my heart
If the worst should happen and the poppies should wave
Over your far distant lonely grave
All the rest of my life I'll spend in prayer
I'll meet you in heaven, there'll be no wars there
