THE BLIND BOY'S DOG

I gave my dog to uncle Sam 1943

He sailed across the sea and died for liberty

Now that you are sending heroes home

I just cant understand

Why don’t you send my dog home Uncle Sam

It’s true no more he’ll lead me

As he did in days of yor

He’lll never be a blind boy’s pal no more

But I know that he gets lonesome’

Sleeping in some distant land

Please wont you send my dog home Uncle Sam

I gave my dog to Uncle Sam

He was so strong and smart

We knew right from the start

That we should do our part

They wrote he died our hero

was in the telegram

Please wont you send my dog home Uncle Sam

He’ll sleep beneath old glory

Right here on daddy’s farm

I’ll be close by to keep him from all harm

No-one knows how much I miss him

And how lonesome now am I

Please wont you send my dog home Uncle Sam
