Just a Note Lyrics

Just a note for time is short dear
Hard the work, and long the day
but I'm thinking on you, Mary
though you're many's the mile away
Kiss the children for me Mary
Do not let them pine nor grieve
Tell them that I'm working for them
why our home I have to leave
Building dams, airfields and factories
shifting mountains by the load
I'll be with you in September
when I'm finished with the road

Just a note for time is short dear
Hard the work, and long the day
but I'm thinking on you, Mary
though you're many's the mile away
