Текст: Eddy Arnold. Other. Did You See My Daddy Over There.

A little boy tugged gently at a soldier's khaki sleeve
He says forgive me mister
but you've been across the sea
I see the purple heart you wear
it tells what you've been through
I thought Perhaps you'd seen my dad as he's a soldier too
Did you see my daddy mister soldier
When you over there?
I thought perhaps by chance
You met him there in France
Or somewhere across the sea
It's been so long since daddy went away
My mommy longs for him both night and day
I know it'd make her glad if you had seen my dad
Have you seen my daddy over there?
The soldier's eyes grew misty as he watched the boy's face
For he recalled a memory that time can not erase
A buddy lost in action,
the best pal he ever had
Till death he carried o'r his heart a picture
of this lad
Did you see my daddy mister soldier
When you were fighting over there?
I thought perhaps by chance
You met him there in France
Or somewhere over there across the sea
It's been so long since daddy went away
My mommy longs for him both night and day
I know it would make her glad if you had seen my dad
Did you see my daddy over there?
