Lyrics
I’ll Come Sailing Home to You (A long way from Broadway) Verse: Billy Slater aviator bound to take a chance Was ready to advance Somewhere in France All his Yankee comrades gather’d ‘round to see his flight And soon they heard him singing through the night Refrain: I’m a long way from Broadway winding way down into the Sea where the light play on the old bay all around Miss Liberty. I’m a long way from you dear and your Tear fill’d eyes so blue. But little sweetheart of mine when we’ve taken the Rhine I’ll come sailing back to you. I’m a long way from Broadway winding way down into the Sea where the light play on the old bay all around Miss Liberty. I’m a long way from you dear and your Tear fill’d eyes so blue. But little sweetheart of mine when we’ve taken the Rhine I’ll come sailing back to you. Verse: Billy Slater aviator medal on his chest Furlough in his vest Started for the west Made a stop in gay Paree to by a wedding ring And all the way out home they heard him sing Refrain
