Uncle Sam's Blues

Performed by Oran Page
Recorded June 1944

Uncle Sam ain't no woman
But he sure can take your man
Uncle Sam ain't no woman
But he sure can take your man
Women wringing their hands and a-cryin'
All over the land

I know you cross your fingers, baby
And pray for me every night
I know you cross your fingers, baby
And pray for me every night
With you in my corner
Lord knows everything's alright

Fritz and Tojo sure got themselves in a jam
Fritz and Tojo sure got themselves in a jam
They gotta go now
I'm crossing up my Uncle Sam
