Lyrics | My Red Cross Girlie (The Wound is Somewhere in My Heart) Verse: Ev’ry Red Cross girlie likes a soldier, there’s a feeling in her heart akin to love. Some laddie with a gun up on his shoulder, very often is the one she’s thinking of. Ev’ry soldier laddie has a yearning for some noble girlie all in white, In his heart the light of love is always burning, for a little red cross girlie day and night. Refrain: My Red Cross girlie for you I’m calling tho’ you’re many miles away, My Red Cross girlie, for you I’m falling, longing for you night and day. I need you sweetheart, for I am wounded, by a cunning fellows dart. But don’t swoon dear for the wound, dear, is only somewhere in my heart. Verse: Ev’ry girlie loves a soldier laddie, and ev’ry girlie loves a boy sincere. She loves him better sometimes than her daddy, proud of one who doesn’t know the thing called fear. A soldier who goes into battle tireless, doesn’t mind the cannon’s shot and shell, If this message he can only send by wireles |
