Lyrics
Set Aside Your Tears (Till the Boys come Marching Home) Verse: Mothers, wives and sweethearts true hearken one and all Those you love have gone away, to answer duty’s call I see a teardrop in your eye, you sadly weep and sigh As they are brave, let us be brave, make this our battle cry. Refrain: Set aside your tears for laughter, till the boys come marching home, For we’ll all be happy after, they return from ‘cross the foam Let us pray for fair weather, for the ones who dared to roam Set aside your tears for laughter, till the boys come marching home. Verse: There are those who cannot go, but still their hears beat true What they do at home will show, their loyalty to you For ev’ryone can help the cause, there is so much to do If in your heart, you’ve done your part, then you’re a hero, too. Refrain
