When The Fleet Comes Sailing Home 1918

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 18 Feb 2003

The sound of the bugle is calling,
the sound seems to say Goodbye,
Sweetheart, your tears are falling,
Cheer up, you must not sigh.
Soon I will be returning,
wait till bye and bye,
I know your heart is yearning
just say that you are mine.

When the fleet comes sailing home again
over the bounding foam
I'll be true to you my sweetheart, Mame,
when onward bound for home,
Oh! say can you see anything
that looks familiar
and we'll give three cheers
for the Red White and Blue
when the fleet comes sailing home.

When the fleet comes sailing home again
over the bounding foam
I'll be true to you my sweetheart, Mame,
when onward bound for home,
Oh! say can you see anything
that looks familiar
and we'll give three cheers
for the Red White and Blue
when the fleet comes sailing home.

And there on the pier she is waiting,
and there for her sailor boy,
"Here comes the fleet," she is saying,
her heart is filled with joy.
There stands the flag of our nation,
waving o'er the sea,
and standing by his station
happy and cheerfully.

When the fleet comes sailing home again
over the bounding foam
I'll be true to you my sweetheart, Mame,
when onward bound for home,
Oh! say can you see anything
that looks familiar
and we'll give three cheers
for the Red White and Blue
when the fleet comes sailing home.

When the fleet comes sailing home again
over the bounding foam
I'll be true to you my sweetheart, Mame,
when onward bound for home,
Oh! say can you see anything
that looks familiar
and we'll give three cheers
for the Red White and Blue
when the fleet comes sailing home.
