I'LL BE BACK IN A YEAR, LITTLE DARLIN'
(Shelhamer Jr. / Hull / Heritier)


Texas Jim Robertson - 1941
The Prairie Ramblers  - 1941




 
I'll be back in a year, little darlin'
Uncle Sam has called and I must go
I'll be back, don't you fear, little darlin'
You'll be proud of your soldier boy, I know
 
I'll do my best each day for the good ol' USA
And we'll keep Old Glory waving high
I'll be back in a year, little darlin'
Don't you worry, darlin', don't you cry

(Instrumental Break)
 
I'll be back in a year, mother darlin'
Uncle Sam has called and I must go
I'll be back don't you fear, mother darlin'
You'll be proud of your soldier boy I know
 
I'll do my best each day for the good ol' USA
And we'll keep Old Glory waving high
I'll be back in a year, mother darlin'
Don't you worry, darlin', don't you cry
