VERSE 01: Marching, marching thro’ the misty night,/Peering thro’ the dark, longing for a fight,/Tramping, stumbling, on the broken ground,/With the tang of battle all around./While at home the busy needles fly,/Knitting with a smile,/Knitting with a sigh,/For their sons, and brothers,/Fathers, lovers, too;/They’re knitting for the soldiers brave and true.
CHORUS: Knitting, knitting, knitting, with the/Khaki wool and grey,/Mufflers, socks and/Balaclava caps,/They are knitting day by day;/Knitting, knitting, knitting, with a pray’r in ev’ry row,/That the ones they hold in their hearts so dear,/May be guarded as they go.
VERSE 02: Clang and clamor, smoke and dust and death,/Blindly fighting on, catching ev’ry breath./Comrades dropping down on ev’ry side,/Holding back the seething hostile tide./But at home the loving hands are still/Knitting with their hearts,/Knitting with a will,/Knitting for their Country, Flag, and soldiers too;/They’re knitting for the ones so brave and true.
