I just got my army call
And I run down to the army hall
Sally come a-runnin' like a cannonball
And I told her not to grieve after me
It's-a when I'm gone sally don't you grieve
It's-a when I'm gone sally don't you grieve
It's-a when I'm gone sally don't you grieve
And I told her not to grieve after me
I'm a-gonna cross that ocean wide
Army rifle by my side
When hitler's beat you can be my bride
But I told her not to grieve after me
Oh it's-a when I'm gone sally don't you grieve
It's-a when I'm gone well sally don't you grieve
It's-a when I'm gone sally don't you grieve
And I told her not to grieve after me
I'm a-gonna jump in a flyin' machine
A-loaded full of this-a tnt
Stop old hitler what I mean
And I told her not to grieve after me
It's-a when I'm gone sally don't you grieve
It's-a when I'm gone sally don't you grieve
It's-a when I'm gone sally don't you grieve
And I told her not to grieve after me
A souvenir I'll send to you
Send hirohito and hitler too
That's about all one feller can do
But I told her not to grieve after me
It's-a when I'm gone sally don't you grieve
It's-a when I'm gone sally don't you grieve
It's-a when I'm gone sally don't you grieve
And I told her not to grieve after me
Sally get a job and save your pay
Work your best for the USA
Write me a letter 'bout ever' day
And I told her not to grieve after me
Well it's-a when I'm gone sally don't you grieve
It's-a when I'm gone sally don't you grieve
It's-a when I'm gone sally don't you grieve
And I told her not to grieve after me
If a blackout comes to the old home town
Sally won't you pull your curtains down
If a shade goes up and a ship goes down
I told her not to grieve after me
It's-a when I'm gone sally don't you grieve
It's-a when I'm gone sally don't you grieve
It's-a when I'm gone sally don't you grieve
And I told her not to grieve after me
Oh it's-a when I'm gone sally don't you grieve
It's-a when I'm gone sally don't you grieve
It's-a when I'm gone sally don't you grieve
And I told her not to grieve after me
