Blind Boy's Dog Lyrics

I gave my dog to Uncle Sam in 1943 He sailed across the sea and died for liberty Now that you are sending hero's home I just can't understand Why don't you send my dog home Uncle Sam? It's true no more he'll lead me as he did in days of yore He'll never be a blind boy's pal no more But I know that he gets lonesome sleeping in some distant land Please won't you send my dog home Uncle Sam? I gave my dog to Uncle Sam he was so strong and smart We knew right from the start that we should do our part They wrote he died a hero t'was in the telegram Please won't you send my dog home Uncle Sam? He'll sleep beneath Old Glory right here on daddy's farm I'll be close by to keep him from all harm No one knows how much I miss him and how lonesome now I am Please won't you send my dog home Uncle Sam?...
