Lyrics
That Red Cross Girl of Mine Verse: There are Sue and Jane in their uniforms with a bad around their arm. There are girls next door and across the street who will keep our courage warm. It’s a sacrifice little girl we know it has won our true esteem. On the field of service while the dark draws o’er us our hearts just seem to sing. Refrain: I’ll go to sleep tonight and dream of that Red Cross girl of mine. She’s just the kind of girl to dream of she’s lovely she’s divine. What chance has Kaiser Bill to win when we have a million men in line, Who have plucky little girls to keep them well like that Red Cross girl of mine? Verse: Ev’ry one is called now to do their part for the good old USA. And the girls you find over all the land they are ready boys today. And we’ll fight and win for we always know they’ll save those who might be lost. For our Red Cross beauties will perform their duties no matter what the cost. Refrain
