The Ward Room Toast Sweethearts and wives—girls that we left bebind, Blue eyes and brown—dim when we sailed that day; For Jack at sea do they grow soft and kind, May memories come to keep the tears away. Beneath strange suns we've sailed the seven seas, Where woman's glance the Yankee sailor lures; Our flag has fluttered in the Orient breeze, But never have we met with eyes like yours. Sweethearts and wives—speeding across the sky We send our longing message—here's to you, The girls we love—the gallant flag we fly— The hearts that tremble for the boys in blue. See—clear a beacsn glows beyond the foam, \d warm its welcome never Ah, keep it burning for us there at home, The sailor's star—the lovelight in your eyes! Now—once again, boys—steady there— stand by! A glass with you, sir—now then— three times three! The Stars and Stripes forever! Bumpers dry— Our flag—our ship—our hearts across the sea!
