DON'T YOU WORRY, DEARIE
(Al. W. Morse / Percy Wenrich,   1912)


A winsome little maid in an everglade 
With her soldier boy in blue 
Maiden softly sighs lovelight in her eyes,
For she loves him fond and true 
Boy has come to tell girl he loves so well, 
Duty calls him far away 
Maiden is in tears for his life she fears 
Then she hears him softly say

The war is over now boy has kept his vow 
Nothing can their love destroy 
They are not alone in their little home,
There's a bouncing baby boy 
Happy is their lot, trouble they forgot 
As they stand behind his bed 
Oft when stars shine bright they recall the night 
When to her he softly said

Don't you worry Dearie 
Dearie don't you sigh 
See the moon is smiling 
In the deep blue sky 
Soon I'll be returning
Then I'll claim my own 
Wedding bells will gaily ring,
And the birds will sweetly sing, 
Little girlie when I come back home.
