Goodbye Maria, I'm off to Korea

So now it's Good-bye Maria, I'm off to Korea Far across the sea It's the same old story and it's up to Old Glory To win another fight for liberty So keep the home fires burning And it won't be long until I'll be returning Good-bye Maria, though I'm off to Korea In my heart you'll always be It wasn't long ago that we met in Italy I was a G.I. Joe and you were Bella Marie Soon we were married, then we sailed away Across the ocean blue to my home in I-O-Way There we've been living, happy as can be Raising fields of corn and a small family But now Maria, you must be brave and smile We're in another fight so I must leave you for awhile So now it's Good-bye Maria, I'm off to Korea Far across the sea It's the same old story and it's up to Old Glory To win another fight for liberty So keep the home fires burning And it won't be long until I'll be returning Good-bye Maria, though I'm off to Korea In my heart you'll always be...My Marie
