Refrain: I want to beloved by a soldier Won’t someone show me the way I want someone to please me, I want someone to squeeze me, Ev’ry night and day, I find that there’s something about them That carries me away And if they’d only want to give me a chance I’d even follow some young fellow to France ‘Cause I want to be loved by a soldier, Won’t someone please show me the way. Verse: Now Billy courted his sweetheart for just about a year He fin’lly got up courage and he said to her “my dear” I never will be satisfied until you are my blushing bride I almost passed away when she replied. Refrain: I want to beloved by a soldier Won’t someone show me the way I want someone to please me, I want someone to squeeze me, Ev’ry night and day, I find th
