I got a letter this morning from a dear old uncle of mine
I got a letter this morning from a dear old uncle of mine
Boys I'm walking today, but tomorrow I may be flying
I believe, I believe Uncle Sam can use me
Now I do believe baby, lord I'll be anything that you want me to be
Uncle Sammy called me, and babe I'm ready to go
Yeah, Uncle Sammy called me, and Lord I'm ready to go
Now he said he needed me, I know he'll send me back home someday, I know
I'm in the army now, my duty I'm going to mind
I'm in the army now, my duty I'm going to mind
Please don't cry baby, Big Bill is doing fine
