Baby Crying for Her Brave.
(Air: “Hello Central”)
Dedicated to Sergeant Frank B., handsome, strong, and noble; a brave, brave gunner; the most popular man in his company; the favorite of his captain; first in foot-ball; first in base-ball; and first in the heart of Jennie June.
Baby is so sad and lonely,
Pining for her soldier brave;
Night and day, awake or sleeping,
Crieth for him, e’en doth rave:
O to rest upon his bosom,
In his blouse her face to hide!
O to feel his strong arms round her!
