Copyright 1917 by Harry Von Tilzer Music Pub, New York
Format: large
Cover art by E. F. Pfeiffer

Patriotic Song with great cover of American Doughboy with Springfield rifle in front of American warships and a waving flag. A patriotic recruitment song in 6/8 time.

Lyrics:

Verse 1:
Goodbye everybody I'm off to fight the foe.
Uncle Sammy is calling me so I must go.
Gee I'm feeling fine don't you wish that you were me?
For I'm sailing tomorrow over the deep blue sea.

Chorus:
And I don't know where I'm going but I'm on my way
For I belong to the Regulars I'm proud to say.
And I'll do my duty-uty night or day
I don't know where I'm going but I'm on my way.

Verse 2:
Take a look at me I'm a Yankee thro' and thro'
I was born on July the Fourth in ninety-two.
And I'll march away with a feather in my hat,
For I'm joing the army, what do you think of that?

(Repeat Chorus)
