  • I discovered this song at the Imperial War Museum and loved it since o.o
    Wish me luck as you wave me goodbye
    Cheerio, here I go, on my way
    Wish me luck as you wave me goodbye
    Not a tear, but a cheer, make it gay
    Give me a smile I can keep all the while
    In my heart while I'm away
    Till we meet once again, you and I
    Wish me luck as you wave me goodbye
    Wish me luck as you wave me goodbye
    Cheerio, here I go on my way
    Wish me luck as you wave me goodbye
    Not a tear, but a cheer, make it gay
    Give me a smile I can keep all the while
    In my heart while I'm away
    Till we meet once again, you and I
    Wish me luck as you wave me goodbye...
    Wish me luck as you wave me goodbye
    Cheerio, here I go, on my way
    Wish me luck as you wave me goodbye
    Not a tear, but a cheer, make it gay
    Give me a smile I can keep all the while
    In my heart while I'm away
    Till we meet once again, you and I
    Wish me luck as you wave me goodbye
    Wish me luck as you wave me goodbye
    Cheerio, here I go, on my way
    Wish me luck as you wave me goodbye
    Not a tear, but a cheer, make it gay
    Give me a smile I can keep all the while
    In my heart while I'm away
    Till we meet once again you and I
    Wish me luck as you wave me goodbye...
    Goodbye everybody, I'll do my best for ye

    I remember hearing this song in an old wartime move,1940 or thereabouts. It was sung by Gracie Fields as a heavily loaded troopship was just shoving off from the jetty. Very moving.

    This song just made me smile, haha. :) I know it's a 'goodbye'-kind of song, but the other main words got me thinking about life, and my family and friends. They are what keep me smiling.

      At least 80% of them died of starvation and overwork, my great uncle was lucky, he got shot by the japs as an example. I love the song too, just not for the same reasons

    When the Uganda was coming back unexpectedly after being requisitioned as a hospital ship for the Falklands war. The kids on board were singing this. At the time, thought wouldn't like to be an Argie squaddie facing those kids

      AND she was totally untrained.. With training she could have set alight the world's operatic concert platforms but she didn't want to.
      She were "Our Gracie" said wi' a north country accent..
      "Were" is the north country language-remnant of the invading Anglo Saxon.."War"
