Lyrics
  • When It’s Over, Over There Molly Darlin’ Verse: Hear them trampin’, hear them stampin’, see the boys in khaki gray
  • There’s an argument in Flanders, and we leave for there today
  • Come and kiss me, will you miss me? Will you promise to be true? We’ll chase von Hindenburg clear into Heidelberg, before I see the smile of you. Refrain: When it’s over, over there, Molly darlin’, when it’s over, over there Molly dear, When we’ve made the Kaiser wise, your smiling eyes will shine more safely here. When we’ve Yankee Doodled under the Linden, when we’ve wound up the watch on the Rhine, When we give Alsace Lorraine to France again, I’ll come sailing home to you. Verse: Don’t be sighin’, don’t be cryin’, for I love to see you smile
  • Don’t be grievin’ that we’re leavin’, we’ll be gone a little while
  • Out in France, dear, there’s a chance, dear, for each son of liberty, And for the glory of the dear old land we love, we’ll chase the U-boats from the sea. Refrain: When it’s over, over there, Molly d
