Blighty The Soldiers Home Sweet Home
Written R P Weston & Bert Lee 1916
Performed by Miss Maie Ash

What's the song the boys are singing out in France ?
It isn't Tennesee that's not the melody
You don't hear them sighing now for Dixieland
There's a different tune upon the Army band
Listen and you'll hear each gallant khaki boy
Singing this song of joy

Chorus
Blighty Blighty That is were going back to Blighty
Blighty mother put my nightie
By the fire to air I'll soon be there
When the job is over All aboard for Dover
And for Blighty Blighty
Hear those big propellers making music in the foam
Bound for Blighty glad to depart
Don't you know where Blighty is ?
Why Bless your heart
It's the soldiers Home Sweet Home Home

When we get the happy news there homeward bound
There'll be some more joy upon the Blighty shore
Here the people on the quay all shout hooray
When they see the steamer coming down the bay
Listen and you'll hear the merry khaki throng
Singing their homeland song

Chorus
Blighty Blighty That is were going back to Blighty
Blighty mother put my nightie
By the fire to air I'll soon be there
When the job is over All aboard for Dover
And for Blighty Blighty
Hear those big propellers making music in the foam
Bound for Blighty glad to depart
Don't you know where Blighty is ?
Why Bless your heart
It's the soldiers Home Sweet Home Home
