Tune: Ten Thousand Miles Away

DREE TOUSAND MILES AWAY

Dree weeks ago last Tuesday nide,
I gone fou off der sea;
In a grade pig shib I dake dat drip,
For my own Deutche goondry.
I leef pehind mein Vaderlund;
My gal so schweed und gay-ay-ay.
Oh! She leefs py 'Fronkford on der Rhine,'
Dree dousand miles away.

Chorus
Den plow you vinds away,
I dond no longer sday;
I gone on board dat grade pig drain,
Vot sdard py yesterday-ay-ay.
Oh1 Yankee doodle-doo,
Und gill dot's besd, I goes oud vest,
Dree dousand miles away.
