Lyrics

"Over there" in France
In a big advance
Little Johnny stood the test
Johnny held his ground
Now he struts around
With a medal on his chest
There's a happy look in his eyes
And ev'ry now and then he cries:
Chorus
I'm gonna pin my medal on the girl I left behind
She deserves it more than I
For the way she said "goodbye"
You should have seen her try to keep away the tears that blind
A braver hero
Would be hard to find
She puts a smile in ev'ry letter she signs
But I can read what's in her heart between the lines
And when I get back
Yes, when I get back
I'm gonna pin my medal on the girl I left behind
When the boys come home
From across the foam
To the girls they love the best
There'll be more than one
Little Yankee son
With a medal on his chest
When the drive is over this Spring
A lot of soldier boys will sing:
REPEAT CHORUS^[2]
