Goodbye Mama (I'm off to Yokohama)

"Goodbye Mama (I'm off to Yokohama)" is a World War II song written and composed by J. Fred Coots. The wartime song was first published in 1941 by Chappell and Co. in New York, NY. The song has a march-tempo, 4/4 meter with some syncopated rhythm. The tune is cheery and akin to a Boy Scout hiking song.

The song was recorded in 1942 by a number of artists, including Dick Robertson, Frankie Masters, and Teddy Powell.

A sequel song, "Goodbye Maria (I'm Off To Korea)", was recorded by country musician Wilf Carter in 1950.

The sheet music can be found at the Pritzker Military Museum & Library.
