Lyrics | Somewhere in France Verse: Somewhere in France there’s a Sammie a Sammie that somebody knows, Somewhere by chance he is fighting a fight for the country he loves. Now God, in your infinite mercy look down from your throne in the sky Protect him I pray, return him someday let peace reign forever and aye. Refrain: Sammie, Sammie, come back home to me, Sammie, Sammie he’s far across the sea. Our country needs you ever, from us you must not sever, Let fighting cease, we’ll pray for peace, forever and forever. Verse: Somewhere in France in the trenches in liberty’s name and for right, Somewhere the enemy’s hiding to shoot down our boys in the fight. Now boys let the flag of your nation float proudly from hilltop and shore Should you fall in the fray we’ll meet you someday where tears, wars and sighs are no more. Refrain |
