Corp. Edward p Dawson)
They think OF us soldiers as heroes,
And praise our names up 10 the SKIES :
They've tears for the one VINO is

And prayers for the one who dies:
They write songs or our pas anu oui
sWeethearts,
And mothers so brave and SO sad,
But name a great poet OF, singer
Who's mentioned word about DAD.
Poor Dad with his checkbook ana
He hasn't a lookin' al all
It's mother and pal and sweetheart;
And Sammie who answered the call:
But Dad must be thinking ana working
In a store or a mine or mill,
To get the old round iron dollars
TO pay the big family bill.
He buys the new bonds by the dozen,
Though his shoes are run down by the
heel,
And his overcoat's old and looks
Sha bby.
But YOU never hear old Daddy squeal
He doesn't write much of letter
To his boy who is going to France,
But sends him crisp five or ten spot
Whenever he has good chance;
And evenings when reading his paper.
A-smoking MS pipe or cigar,
He thinks Of his boy clad in khaki
Says: Il hope it's well where you
are
Now. | think Just a lot OF my mother,
She's written each day I've been gone,
And my pals and my friends and my
sweetheart,
Have all helped to cheer me along;
But my Dad is as good and as human
And some times / certainly feel
That as Dad has to pay and work every
day.
