VERSE 1: Johnny Jones enlisted in this war of Liberty
And ev'ry place that Johnny went this sight he'd always see,
The girls were knitting things for boys all fighting in the fray,
When a sweet he'd see knitting Young Johnny would say
CHORUS 1: I wonder who's knitting for me I wonder just who she can be?
Now I wonder if she's tall I wonder if she's small?
I'd love her, I'd love her, Why for her I would fall
It's comforting you must admit, To know that she's doing her bit
Knit, knit, knit, the girls are knitting I wonder who's knitting for me?
VERSE 2: Johnny in the trenches got a box the other day
And in that box a pair of sox were neatly packed away
All wrapped in tissue paper and with ribbons on them too,
Johnny Jones was disappointed When he found they wouldn't do
CHORUS 2: I wonder who's knitting for me I wonder just who she can be?
She must think I'm big and tall she doesn't know I'm small,
No matter, No matter, I'll wear them after all
I'd like to thank her for the hose, They're bigger than my underclothes
Knit, knit, knit, the girls are knitting I wonder who's knitting for me?
