At home he left his heart and hand,

His bride to be.

my love?
Here's the answer,
Here's the reason
Aussie, never fear.
The chorus:
Bill, come and meet Yank.
He's here to help us fight.
You two will learn to be good friends,
So Bill, come and meet a Yank.
Oh, Bill, he's so much like you.
He sailed away to fight.

his first attempt to put his emo

1t happened this way: Sergt.
Thomas Downey. 23-year-old gun

Downey had leave and both were
