Our Boys

Topics: classic

Written after the United States entered the war, fighting on the side of the Entente Allies.             Halt! Attention! Salute the flag,                 The boys are marching by;             They're going forth to win the war                 For us to do or die.             Our country needed fighting men,                 Her liberty to save;             These boys responded to the call,                 And all they had they gave.             All loyal hearts are beating fast,                 And hope our bosoms fill;             For liberty shall reign supreme                 O'er ocean, dale and hill.             With no regrets for parted hopes                 Or futures cast aside,             Our soldier boys are marching by;                 They are our country's pride.
