   A BROWN SHOED SOLDIER COME WALKIN' BY   
      
   HE STEPPED UP TO HER THINKIN' JUST TO TEASE HER

   I HAVE A SWEETHEART HE IS IN THE ARMY   
      
   ACROSS THE SEA IN SOME DISTANT LAND   
      
   I HAVE THIS GLOVE THAT I ONCE KNITT FOR HIM   
      
   SEE HOW I'T STAINED WITH HIS LIFE'S OWN BLOOD
