My Little Marine
Jamie Horton (Gayla Peevey)
Written by Gayla Henderson and Edward C. Warren (as currently shown by ASCAP)
Peaked at # 84 in 1960, her only charted song under that name.
Gayla Peevey had charted "I Want A Hippopotamus" as a 10-year-old in 1953. In her teens she joined ASCAP as "Jamie Horton" and wrote and performed this song under that fictitious name. ASCAP's listing reflects her married name today, Gayla Henderson.
Orchestration arranged and conducted by Joe Sherman
The Marines are sending my boyfriend
Somewhere across the sea
I know I'll cry my heart out
When they take him from me
How could they be so mean to my little marine?
He's really all that I've go~t and I love him an awful lot
"The Marines are sending my boyfriend somewhere across the sea I know I'll cry my heart out when they take him from me "
Oh, my little marine, though an ocean's between
You'll still be all that I've go~t and I love you an awful lot
