Soldier boy Oh, my little soldier boy I'll be true to you
You were my first love And you'll be my last love I will never make you blue I'll be true to you
In the whole world You can love but one girl Let me be that one girl For I'll be true to you
Wherever you go My heart will follow I love you so I'll be true to you
Take my love with you To any port or foreign shore Darling, you must feel for sure I'll be true to you
Soldier boy Oh, my little soldier boy I'll be true to you
"Soldier Boy" written by Luther Dixon and Florence Green.
