Lyrics
1. Goodbye everybody I’m off to fight the foe
Uncle Sammy is calling me so I must go
Gee I’m feeling fine don’t you wish that you were me?
For I’m sailing tomorrow over the deep blue sea
Chorus
And I don’t know where I’m going but I’m on my way
For I belong to the regulars I’m proud to say
And I’ll do my duty-uty night or day
I don’t know where I’m going but I’m on my way
2. Take a look at me I’m a Yankee thro’ and thro’
I was born on July the Fourth in ninety two
And I’ll march away with a feather in my hat
For I’m joining the army what do you think of that?
