Uncle Sam took my baby away
uncle Sam took my baby today
well I guess he needs her more than I do
watch your back he'll take her from you
and when he's done he'll take my son on too.

Uncle Sam took my darling away
uncle Sam took my darling today
his intentions are the finest he says
as he's stuffing her into his
bag of heros and she goes away

Getting tired of everyone I know
see them running circles everywhere I go
In the night

Always wanting them to come and show
that they ain't scared of what they don't know
what's in the night
