A laddie in France is dreaming: little girlie of you

A modern interpretation of the 1918 song "A laddie in France is dreaming: little girlie of you" by Eddie McGrath.

Time Period: The Great War/ WW1
Original lyrics:

He took your heart with him when he marched away
You were so brave when he said goodbye
He was all that you had, but, he could not stay

Now dear little girl, don’t cry.
A laddie in France is dreaming
Little girlie of you
Your dear eyes of blue haunt a soldier true,
And I know that he’s lonesome, too

Just forget your heartaches and calm all your fears,
Drive the clouds away and dry your tears
For a laddie in France is dreaming
Little girlie of you

Beneath our Old Glory flying over there
Your soldier boy’s watching staunch and true
And he knows when he goes
O’er the top a pray’r
Comes dear little girl, from you
