Gussie Guthie

This is an EDM interpretation of the 1918 song '"Gussie": Guthie' by Royal Bryon.

Time period: The Great War/ WW1
Original lyrics:

Little Davy joined the Navy
when the war began
He looked cute in a sailor suit
Oh what a fighting man

Every time he'd meet his girl
he'd stutter and lisp
Upon the day he sailed away
he said goodbye like this

Goo-goo-good bye Guthie
Goo-goo-good bye Guthie

You're the sweet and cute my poor brain in a whirl

Wh-wh-when I come back
Wh-wh-when I come back
I hope you'll be the same, same, simp-simp-simp-le girl
Goo-goo-good bye girl

Transport leaving Guthie
Grieving Davy, feeling blue
Said now, dearie
Just be cheery

I love only you
Some day, you'll be proud to know I face the shot and shell
And now it seems in all her dreams she hears his fanfare well

Don't you cry because I'm leaving you today
Then I will kiss your dog dog dog gone tears away away
