When some pesky Lieut has sassed yuh which to home he wouldn’t dare,
Yuh can lift yer chin an’ whistle, an’ that’s easy, yuh will find,
If you’ve really had a letter from the Girl yuh left behind.
When a letter comes yuh grab it right before the other guys,
An’ yuh git a little vision of the light that’s in Her eyes;
Yuh can see Her smiles an’ dimples, an’ fer other girls you’re blind
When you’ve really had a letter from the Girl yuh left behind.
Jest a sheet or two of paper with a purple stamp or two,
But it means the whole creation to the heart an’ soul o’ you,
An’ yuh git to feelin’ pious, an’ yuh pray a bit, yuh mind,
