Here's a song learned around 1960 during my miscreant teen years. Seems like it just might be a parody.


Around her hat she wore a yellow ribbon,
She wore it in the spring time and in the month of May,
And if you asked her why the hell she wore it,
She wore it for the soldier who was far, far away.
    Far away, far away,
    She wore it for the soldier who was far, far away.

Around the block she wheeled a baby carriage,
She wheeled it in the spring time and in the month of May.
And if you asked her why the hell she wheeled it,
She wheeled it for the soldier who was far, far away.
    Far away, far away,
    She wheeled it for the soldier who was far far away.

Behind the door her father kept a shotgun,
He kept it in the spring time and in the month of May,
And if you asked him why the hell he kept it,
He kept it for the soldier who was far, far away.
    Far away, far away,
    He kept it for the soldier who was far, far away.
