SWEETHEARTS IN THE SPRING
Foster & Allen
It was on a summer's evening when all the world was still
Two lovers rambled down the lane to an old and wooden mill
He was leaving on the 'morrow for lands far far away
And as she nestles close to him she heard him softly say
I'll return my little sweetheart, in the Spring
And for us those wedding bells will gai-aily ring
And when all the wrongs are righted
Our hearts will be united
I'll return my little sweetheart, i-in the Spring
On the quay there stands a soldier in uniform so bright
He's waiting for a big troop ship to take him to the fight
The bugles they are blowing and the master climbed it high
And as the cable settled down from below there comes a sight
He's waiting for a big troop ship to take him to the fight
The bugles they are blowing and the master climbed it high
And as the cable settled down from below there comes a sight
I'll return my little sweetheart, in the Spring
And for us those wedding bells will gai-aily ring
And when all the wrongs are righted
Our hearts will be united
I'll return my little sweetheart, i-in the Spring
In a cottage by a fireside sits a maiden young and fair
And as the tears roll down her cheeks, her letter she put there
And as she read it o'er and o'er it was more than she could bear
But ever' morning dawned for her she was gone for all was fair
So they laid in her in the graveyard in the Spring
And for her those wedding bells will never ring
For among the dead and dying her soldier boy was lying
When they laid her in the graveyard i-in the Spring
I'll return my little sweetheart in the Spring
And for us those wedding bells will gai-aily ring
And when all the wrongs are righted
Our hearts will be
