Goodbye Germany

Words by J. Edwin McConnel and Lincoln McConnell
Music by J. Edwin McConnell
Copyright: 1917 by Lincoln McConnell, Thomasston, Georgia
Format: large

Original retail price: 50¢

From a local publishing house in Thomasston, Georgia. The copy that I have was trimmed down to contemporary music size, so be aware that an untrimmed copy should have much larger borders.

Lyrics:

Verse 1:
Uncle Sam is fixing up for war.
Uncle Sam is angry to the core.
For that war mad bully o'er the sea
Dores to murder people of the U.S.A.
My country is a land
Of the noble true and brave
And tho' your submarine sharks
may fill the whole wide ocean
Germany you'll have to pay.

Chorus:
Goodbye Germany, so long Germany.
You've brought the eagle down on your head.
For you've riled old Uncle Sam
And the people of his land;
From east to west you'll find your foes
and way down yonder where the cotton grows
People are shouting for war
And they're counting time on you.
When Uncle Sam goes after you
The whole big world knows you are thru.
So goodbye Germany.

Verse 2:
We have watched you make your dirty fight.
Watched you as you trampled ev'ry right.
Trampled helpless people 'neath you heel.
Now the hand of power you shall surely feel.
My country is a land
Where the hearts of men beat true.
And when you murder the people
Of this grand old nation,
You'll get what's coming to you.

Chorus:
Goodbye Germany, so long Germany.
You've brought the eagle down on your head.
For you've riled old Uncle Sam
And the people of his land;
From east to west you'll find your foes
and way down yonder where the cotton grows
People are shouting for war
And they're counting time on you.
When Sammy's boys go out to war
The whole big world knows what they're for,
So goodbye Germany.
