VERSE 01: The beacon fires are burning clear,/On ev’ry upland knoll,/Each countryside is calling on/It’s ev’ry loyal soul./Sweet Liberty is threatened by/The mad despoilers grasp,/The East is red and panting/It is up to you at last. CHORUS: Then buy a bond for Liberty,/This much we all can do,/Our Uncle Sam will pay us back,/And give us interest too;/We’ve sent our soldiers over there,/We’ve got to see them through,/So while you’re at it Uncle Sam,/Just put me down for two. VERSE 02: The fellow in the front line trench,/The miner in the pit,/The younster in the garden,/The ancient at the spit./Are soldiers all together now,/Each in his destined way,/All swing in line when duty calls,/To fervently obey. | |
