Good-Bye Broadway, Hello France 1917

by James Pitt-Payne, London UK - -1 Jul 2005

Goodbye New York Town,
Goodbye Miss Liberty,
your light of freedom will guide us across the sea,
ev'ry soldier's sweetheart bidding goodbye,
ev'ry soldier's mother drying her eye.
Cheer up we'll soon be there,
singing this Yankee air:

Goodbye Broadway, Hello France,
We're ten million strong,
Goodbye sweethearts wives and mothers,
it won't take us long,
don't you worry while we're there,
it's for you we're fighting too,
so Goodbye Broadway,
Hello France,
we're going to square our debt to you.

Goodbye Broadway, Hello France,
We're ten million strong,
Goodbye sweethearts wives and mothers,
it won't take us long,
don't you worry while we're there,
it's you we're fighting for,
so Goodbye Broadway, Hello France,
we're going to help you win this war.

Vive Pershing is the cry across the sea
we're united in this fight for liberty,
France sent us a soldier,
brave La Fayette,
whose deeds and fame we cannot forget.
Now that we have the chance
we'll pay our debt to France.

Goodbye Broadway, Hello France,
We're ten million strong,
Goodbye sweethearts wives and mothers,
it won't take us long,
don't you worry while we're there,
it's for you we're fighting too,
so Goodbye Broadway,
Hello France,
we're going to square our debt to you.

Goodbye Broadway, Hello France,
We're ten million strong,
Goodbye sweethearts wives and mothers,
it won't take us long,
don't you worry while we're there,
it's you we're fighting for,
so Goodbye Broadway, Hello France,
we're going to help you win this war.
