Lyric From 20 To 44 (1942)

Stay close by me baby, don t leave me for a single day.
Stay close by me baby, don t leave me for a single day.
I ve got a feelin Uncle Sam s gonna call me and I ll soon be miles and miles away.

I don t won t to leave you baby, but it looks like daddy s got to go.
I don t won t to leave you baby, but it looks like daddy s got to go.
There s no peace on earth and there s hell every where you go.

From 18 to 35 it didn t even cross my mind.
From 18 to 35 it didn t even cross my mind.
But from 20 to 44 look like everybody s got to go.

Dreamed last night I signed my name, man said please raise your right hand.
Dreamed last night I signed my name, man said please raise your right hand.
From 20 to 44 I know I m headed for No Man s Land.

So much I want to tell you baby, but my heart can t stand the strain.
Don t let my mother and dad, don t let them come to the train.
To think of leaving you baby, it chills the blood down in my veins.
