The Soldiers Sweetheart
Written and recorded by Jimmie Rodgers

C      G7    C
Once I had a sweetheart
  F                    C
A sweetheart brave and true
    F                 C
His hair was dark and curly
    G7               C
His loving eyes were blue

           G7      C
He told me that he loved me
       F               C
And he often proved it so
       F             C
And he often came to see me
         G7              C
When the evening sun was low

         G7       C
But fate took him away
        F            C
To this awful German war
    F               C
And when he came to say goodbye
   G7            C
My heart did overflow

            G7         C
He says goodbye little darling
   F             C
To France I must go

             G7            C
He takes the golden finger ring
       F               C
And he placed it on my hand
     F                  C
Said remember me little darling
     G7              C
When I'm in no man's land

            G7       C
He promised he would write to me
     F                 C
That promise he's kept true
    F                C
And when I read this letter friend
  G7              C
I pray the war is through

                  G7         C
The second letter I got from him
    F            C
The war was just ahead
    F                      C
The third one wrote by his captain
   G7               C
My darling dear was dead

          G7         C
I'll keep all of his letters
     F                  C
I'll keep his gold ring too
         F             C
And I'll always live a single life
        G7                 C
For the soldier who was so true
