Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray my folks at home—don't
weep.
And no other Sailor here shall take
My shoes and socks before I wake.
I pray for the ending of this war so
old,
Which is near—for many Japs are
cold.
We all shall pray for the boys over-
seas—
That they may all return, PLEASE.
On the day of Victoiy for which we
seek
We pray for those disabled and
weak,
And for those who may not be on
hand
When our ship may hit this good
old land.
Let us think of our boys on Christ-
mas Day,
When our Savior was bom on a
bunch of hay.
And don't let it slip up on our mind
To send them gifts at Christmas
Time.
They are over there to get a mis-
sion done.
When it's over you'll find many a
