Rosie, I've been drafted   I'm a solider now 'am 'bout to die   for my nation with my brothers.   Come dear wave me off,   but please don't cry      I will fight 'til I fall and I can't make it up   but my undying soul will fly back home   and kiss you goodnight      Rosie, when I daydream   you will be my one remaining light   As I walk my way through deserts   I will carry you in my mind.      I will fight 'til I fall and I can't make it up   but my undying soul will fly back home   and kiss you goodnight.      I will fight 'til I fall and I can't make it up   but my undying soul will fly back home   and kiss you goodnight   I will fight 'til I fall and I can't make it up   But my undying soul will fly back home   and kiss you goodnight      Rosie, I will try to wear my judgement   like it's a shiny crown   Do get married, have his children...   I will wait for you on the other side.
