I Didn't Raise My Boy to Be a Soldier
Song by PLANTA-DOSI, 1915, written when America had not yet entered into World War I. As events began to move national sentiment away from absolute neutrality, the same company published another song, I Don't Want My Boy to Be a Soldier, But I Will Send My Girl to Be a Nurse. Finally, the company published a song reflecting the entry of the U.S. into World War I: America, Here Is My Boy!
