[00:00.00]The Soldier's Sweetheart - Jimmy Rodgers
[00:01.90]Once I had a sweetheart
[00:07.50]A sweetheart brave and true
[00:13.34]His hair was dark and curly
[00:19.22]His loving eyes were blue
[00:25.15]He told me that he loved me
[00:30.89]And he often proved it so
[00:36.62]And he often came to see me
[00:42.46]When the evening sun was low
[00:49.71]But fate took him away
[00:55.30]To this awful German war
[01:01.09]And when he came to say goodbye
[01:06.93]My heart did overflow
[01:12.58]He says goodbye little darling
[01:18.26]To France I must go
[01:26.76]He takes the golden finger ring
[01:32.39]And he placed it on my hand
[01:37.83]Said remember me little darling
[01:43.53]When I'm in no man's land
[01:50.53]He promised he would write to me
[01:56.17]That promise he's kept true
[02:01.83]And when I read this letter friend
[02:07.46]I pray the war is through
[02:14.38]The second letter I got from him
[02:20.10]The war was just ahead
[02:26.86]The third one wrote by his captain
[02:32.39]My darling dear was dead
[02:38.01]I'll keep all of his letters
[02:43.67]I'll keep his gold ring too
[02:49.23]And I'll always live a single life
[02:54.87]For the soldier who was so true
