My Daddy's gone to war
Yesterday he went
I miss him so much
All our money has been spent
My Daddy's gone to war
How sad is the war
Because my Mummy cries
We are very poor
My Daddy's gone to war
A letter came to Mummy
I am very hungry
There is no food in my tummy
My Daddy's gone to war
I curl up in bed
But I cannot sleep
Because my Daddy's dead
