Lyrics
English: My dearest, my darling / I'm leaving today for war / Some land so many miles away / My hear is heavy my thoughts are sad / But this one thing I'll always be glad / That I stood and was counted / As one who cared for this country we live in / The freedom we share / Don't cry my darling / I'll be home someday / To love and to cherish, to honour and obey / And when we have children, one, two and three / I hope that they'll also see...
