Rosie, I've been drafted I'm a solider now, about to die For my nation, with my brothers Come dear wave me off, but please don't cry I will fight 'til I fall, and I can't make it up Then my undying soul will fly back home And kiss you goodnight Rosie, when I daydream You will be my one remaining light As I walk my way through deserts I will carry you in my mind I will fight 'til I fall and I can't make it up Then my undying soul will fly back home And kiss you goodnight I will fight 'til I fall and I can't make it up Then my undying soul will fly back home And kiss you goodnight I will fight 'til I fall and I can't make it up Then my undying soul will fly back home And kiss you goodnight Rosie, I will try to wear my judgement Like it's a shining crown Do get married, have his children I will wait for you on the other side
