Sweet little Beth who thought nothing of time, kissed the young man who stood outside her door every night. He had said he'd never leave her nor sail on their wedding day. For the wife of a soldier who fought in the war, "every man for himself" or for her. Empty words on the streets from the ships that return he'd be back for the sweetheart he loves Letters in frames told the evergreen tale of the young hero's life and his bride left behind. With a child she swore to bring up, Beth agreed to another hand. For the wife of a soldier who fought in the war, "every man for himself" or for her. Empty words on the streets from the ships that return he'd be back for the sweetheart he loves he'd be back for the sweetheart he loves Scarred season arms pulled her young son aboard, who'd forgotten to read the duty he signed up for. Hear the cry of dear old Beth who now grieves by the empty shore. For the wife of a soldier who fought in the war, "every man for himself" or for her. Empty words on the streets from the ships that return he'd be back for the sweetheart he loves For the wife of a soldier who fought in the war, "every man for himself" or for her. Empty words on the streets from the ships that return he'd be back for the sweetheart he loves he'd be back for the sweetheart he loves he'd be back for the sweetheart he loves
