I WANT TO GO HOME | I WANT TO GO HOME |
I want to go home, I want to go home. I don't want to go in the trenches no more, Where whizzbangs and shrapnel they whistle and roar. Take me over the see, where the Alleyman* can't get at me. Oh my, I don't want to die, I want to go home. | I want to go home, I want to go home. Shrapnel and whizzbangs and pipsqueaks galore, I don't want to go to the trenches no more. Far over the sea, where the Germans can't get after me Oh my, I'm too young to die. I want to go home. |
I want to go home, I want to go home. I don't want to visit la Belle France no more, For oh the Jack Johnsons** they make such a roar. Take me over the sea, where the snipers they can't get at me. Oh my, I don't want to die, I want to go home. | I want to go home I want to go home. The war ain't so bad if you're wearin' a star But bein' a private don't get you so far. I want to go home, I want to go home Oh my, I'm too young to die. I want to go home. |
** Jack Johnson = heavy shell (from a boxer of the same name)
