Lyrics
  • I’ll See You later “Yankeeland” Verse: Blow the whistles, start the ships a-going. Let’s be on our way, Far across the deep blue ocean. On to France to win the day, My heroes, Goodbye mother, dear, and sweethearts, Goodbye happy land, Don’t you weep for I’ll return dear, to you and Yankee Land Refrain: I’ll see you later, Yankee Land. I am off to Paree and the Strand. I’ll see you later, Yankee Land And I’ll march down Broadway with the band. I’ll see you later Yankee Land, I am going where my pals are fighting
  • No use o’ sighin’ No us o’ cryin’, I will see you later, Yankee Land Verse: Over there my pals are fighting, Far across the sea, We are coming boys to help you, Fight for home and victory, My heroes, When the cruel war is over. Then we’ll all shake hands and remember we’re all brothers back in Yankee Land Refrain
