Lyrics
Once I had a sweetheart A sweetheart brave and true His hair was dark and curly His loving eyes were blue He told me that he loved me And he often proved it so And he often came to see me When the evening sun was low But fate took him away To this awful German war And when he came to say goodbye My heart did overflow He says, "Goodbye, little darling To France I must go" He takes the golden finger ring And he placed it on my hand Said, "Remember me, little darling When I'm in no man's land" He promised he would write to me That promise he's kept true And when I read this letter, friend I pray the war is through The second letter I got from him The war was just ahead The third one, wrote by his captain My darling dear was dead I'll keep all of his letters I'll keep his gold ring, too And I'll always live a single life For the soldier who was so true
