C. Francis Reisner, Benny Davis, 1917
| Good-bye New York town, goodbye Miss Liberty, Your light of freedom will guide us across the sea, Ev'ry soldier's sweatheart bidding goodbye, Ev'ry soldier's mother drying her eye, Cheer up we'll soon be there, Singing this Yankee air: Chorus: |: Good-bye Broadway*, Hello France, We're ten million strong, Good-bye sweethearts, wives and mothers, It won't take us long, Don't you worry while we're there; It's for you we're fighting too, So Good-bye Broadway, Hello France; We're going to square our debt to you. :| | 2. Vive Pershing is the cry across the sea We're united in this fight for liberty France sent us a soldier, brave La Fayette Whose deeds and fame we cannot forget Now that we have the chance We'll pay our debt to France Chorus: |: Good-bye Broadway*, Hello France, We're ten million strong, Good-bye sweethearts, wives and mothers, It won't take us long, Don't you worry while we're there; It's for you we're fighting for, So Good-bye Broadway, Hello France; We're going to help you win this war. :| |
