 G                    C           
All the pretty girls standing in 
    G
the garden, a brown shoe
 C                   D7           
soldier came walking by. He 
      G      C
stepped up to her thinking just
    G                       C   
to tease her. Said I think that 
D7              G
you will be my bride.

G                   C         
I have a sweetheart he is in the 
    G                 C
Army , across the sea, in
              D7              G 
some distant land. I'd never send 
   C               G
him a dear john letter,
              C       D7     
just for the sake of some fast 
           G
talking man.

 G                       C        
supposing that he's not lost in 
    G
some battle, not even

out, in the ice and snow. But in 
     G       C
the arms of some foreign
G                     C         
beauty, did you ever think, it 
D7       C
might be so.

G                  C        
I know that he is lost in some 
    G
battle, though I know not
C                   D7           
if, he be alive or dead. I have 
     G         C
this glove that I once knit
G                       C        
for him...see how it's stained, 
D7                  G
with his life's own blood.

 G                    C           
He reached his hand, down inside 
    G
his pocket...lean close
     C              D7            
and see the gift I bear. That very
  G     C
 glove that you are
G                   C   D7       
holding. It is the same as I have 
  G
here.

G               C            G  
I know that you do not recognize
                 C
 me, my face is changed
                D7                 
by some battle scars, but my heart 
 G          C
inside , it is just
     G                     C    
the same love...as when I left, 
D7           G
to join the war.

 G                     C          
Now wars may come and take away 
    G
your loved ones. It may
     C           D7            
seem easy to deceive. But if you 
   G      C
truely love some
G                        C        
soldier....than you must set, his 
 D7     G
mind at ease.
