Lyrics for Song: Happy New Year Darling (1947)
Lyrics for Album: The Rhythm & Blues Years Vol. 2 1947-52 [2003]
Happy New Year, darlin', I'm so glad to be back home.
Happy New Year, darlin', I'm so glad to be back home.
Yes, and the reason why I'm so happy, I still can call you my own.
Christmas Eve mornin' baby, I was on my way back home to you.
Christmas Eve mornin' baby, I was on my way back home to you.
It was your love that kept me fighting, kept me safe the whole war through.
It seems like a long, long time, since I been fightin' the Japs across the deep blue sea.
Yes, it seems like a long, long time, since I was fightin' the Japs across the deep blue sea.
Yes, that's why I'm so glad darlin', to find the one I love, still waiting for me.
It's so great to have you darlin', to have a little wife like you.
Yes, it's so great my darlin', to have a little wife like you.
My three brothers couldn't make it, but they say, Happy New Year to you.
