Lyrics | We Won’t Be With You To-Morrow (To-day We March Away) Verse: Billy was a soldier boy, the pride of Company A, Until one day the orders came the soldier boys must march away. Billy’s little country sweetheart came to bid Billy goodbye, And as the band began to play the boys began to cry. Refrain: Oh we won’t be with you tomorrow, today we march away, And tho’ we’re sorry to leave you, our hearts are light and gay. So kiss your girl goodbye, Bill, we’ll shout hip hip hooray (H’ray!), Oh we won’t be with you tomorrow, we’re leaving town today. Verse: Billy took the flag she had and pressed it close to his breast, You’re very dear to me, said he, but here’s the one I love the best. Till the war is thru I’m going to serve the old Red, White and Blue, But when my country’s thru with me then I’ll come back to you. Refrain |
