[00:00.00]The Soldier's Sweetheart - Jimmie Rodgers (吉米·罗杰斯)
[00:02.61]Once I had a sweetheart
[00:08.26]A sweetheart brave and true
[00:14.22]His hair was dark and curly
[00:20.20]His loving eyes were blue
[00:26.22]He told me that he loved me
[00:31.99]And he often proved it so
[00:37.89]And he often came to see me
[00:43.90]When the evening sun was low
[00:51.36]But fate took him away
[00:56.94]To this awful German war
[01:02.86]And when he came to say goodbye
[01:08.71]My heart did overflow
[01:14.50]He says "Goodbye little darling
[01:20.32]To France I must go"
[01:29.01]He takes the golden finger ring
[01:34.66]And placed he it on my hand
[01:40.07]Said "Remember me little darling
[01:46.01]When I'm in no man's land"
[01:53.30]He promised he would write to me
[01:58.92]That promise he's kept true
[02:04.56]And when I read this letter friend
[02:10.36]I pray the war is through
[02:17.39]The second letter I got from him
[02:23.04]The war was just ahead
[02:30.02]The third one wrote by his captain
[02:35.64]My darling dear was dead
[02:41.35]I'll keep all of his letters
[02:47.06]I'll keep his gold ring too
[02:52.77]And I'll always live a single life
[02:58.51]For the soldier who was so true
