- "Send Me a Line When I'm Across the Ocean" is a World War I era song first released in 1917. Irving Crocker wrote the lyrics. George L. Cobb composed the music. It was written for both voice and piano. Walter Jacobs of Boston, Massachusetts published the song. The cover was designed by Rose Starmer. On the cover is a watercolor painting of an ocean with ships in the background. In the foreground is an envelope addressed: "Private Good-boy; Rainbow Division; Somewhere in France." The song is told from the point of view of a soldier leaving for war. He gives instructions to those waiting for him at home: to write to him in order to keep his spirits up. The chorus is as follows: Send me a line when I'm across the oceanSend me a line to show me your devotionA letter nice and longAs sweet as any songTo tell me that you'll rememberEv'ry promise while I'm goneWrite me a word about my dear old motherI know I'll miss her more than I can saySo while I'm over the seaJust show your love for meBy sending a line to me each day The sheet music can be found at Pritzker Military Museum & Library.
