Above lyrics [KENDALL] are CORRECT except that--
Hank apparently MIS/SPOKE in the last verse
[at least on this version]
as sometimes happens and goes un/noticed?

BLIND BOY'S DOG
(Red River Dave McEnery)
Recorded by: HANK SNOW

I gave my dog to Uncle Sam in 1943
He sailed across the sea
And died for liberty
Now that you are sending heroes 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', 'twas 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 am I [vs I am?]
Please won't you send my dog home Uncle Sam?

BLIND BOY'S PRAYER is in no way connected
the BLIND BOY's DOG--is a TOTALLY different theme.
