My Love’s in Germany
[Verse 1: Ben Metzner, Zora Cock]
My love's in Germany, send him hame, send him hame
My love's in Germany, send him hame
My love's in Germany, fighting brave for royalty
He may ne'er his Jeannie see, send him hame
He's brave as brave can be, send him hame, send him hame
He's as brave as brave can be, send him hame
He's as brave as brave can be, he would rather fall than flee
But his life's so dear to me, send him hame
[Chorus: Both]
Send him hame, send him hame
All the way from Germany
Send him hame, send him hame
My love
Send him hame, send him hame
He's as brave as brave can be
Send him hame, send him hame
My love‘s in Germany
[Verse 2: Ben Metzner]
Our foes are ten to three, send him hame, send him hame
Oh, our foes are ten to three, send him hame
Oh, our foes are ten to three, he would rather fall than flee
But his life's so dear to me, send him hame
[Chorus: Both]
Send him hame, send him hame
All the way from Germany
Send him hame, send him hame
My love
Send him hame, send him hame
He's as brave as brave can be
Send him hame, send him hame
My love‘s in Germany
[Instrumental Break]
[Bridge: Both]
Your love ne'er learnt to flee
Send him hame, send him hame
Oh, your love ne'er learnt to flee, send him hame
Your love ne'er learnt to flee
But he fell in Germany
Fighting brave for royalty
Send him hame, send him hame
Fighting brave for royalty, send him hame
[Outro: Ben Metzner]
He'll ne'er come o'er the sea
For Willie's slain, Willie's slain
Oh, this life‘s nay more for me for Willie's slain
