Kishore Kumar Hits — John McCormack - Send Me Away with a Smile (Unpublished Take) lyrics

Artist: John McCormack

album: John McCormack: The Gramophone Company Ltd. & Victor Talking Machine Company Recordings

Little girl don't cry
I must say goodbye
Don't you hear the bugle call?
And the fife and drum beats all
With the flag wave over us all
Tho I love you so
It is time to go
And the soldier in me you'll find
When on land or sea
Many boys like me
You would not have me stay behind?
So, send me away with a smile little girl
Brush the tears from eyes of brown
It's all for the best
And I'm off with the rest
With the boys from my hometown
It may be forever we part little girl
But it may be for only a while
But if fight here we must
Then in God is our trust
So, send me away with a smile
When I leave you dear
Give me words of cheer
To recall in times of pain
They will come towards me
And will seem to be
Like the sunshine after rain
Amid shot and shell
I'd remember well
You must be a soldier too
And through this war I am fighting
For My country, my home, and you
It may be forever we part little girl
But it may be for only a while
But if fight here we must
Then in God is our trust
So, send me away with a smile
