Lyrics
Oh, my love's in Germany, send him home, send him home,
Oh, my love's in Germany, send him home.
Oh, my love's in Germany,
Lang leagues 0' land and sea
Frae Westrey and frae me, Send him home, send him home.
Oh, my love's in Germany, Send him home.

Oh, weary fa' the war, Send him home, send him home,
That tysed my love sae rar, Send him home.
Oh, were he home again,
How blythe we'd be and rain,
But he's rar ayont the main, Send him home, send him home.
Oh, my love's in Germany, Send him home.

Oh, wad some birdie say, Send him home, send him home,
To my sodger far away, Send him home.
How lonely sighs his May,
Conntin' year and month and day,
For oh! her heart is wae, Send him home, send him home.
Oh, my love's in Germany, Send him home.
