1. I feel so blue dat de blue shines through
An\u2019 a blue-black coon\u2019s a sight
I\u2019se broke up, sure, an\u2019 dey ain\u2019t no cure
Since ma baby went to fight
Oh, Uncle Sam has ma black man
In de army, sure\u2019s ye born
I\u2019se pawn\u2019d my rings, ma sealskin an\u2019 things
To buy his uniform
An when he went away, to him I did say<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Chorus
My dandy soldier coon, in army suit
You am a beaut, pride of de black platoon
Babe, come back soon, My dandy soldier coon
Yo\u2019 style of walk makes them all talk
Marching to ragtime tune
Ta ra ra boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2. When he gets back he\u2019ll be tanned so black
Dat I\u2019ll never know this coon
He\u2019ll be a sight, with his medals bright
And his chest like a balloon
All down de line, dey\u2019ll shout, \u201cHe\u2019s fine!\u201d
He am cert\u2019ny in de swim
Dat gals will try to catch his eye
No use, dey can\u2019t win him
For when he went away, to him I did say<\/p>\n\n\n\n
