Remember the vet / words & music by Ned Cantwell

VERSE 01: Remember your word Uncle Sammy,/The day that our boys marched away,/They gave up their lives,/Their sweethearts and wives,/To fight for their dear U.S.A./You promised to care for them Sammy,/There’s one thing at least you might do,/They’ve finished a task, they’re free now to ask,/A job Sam so it’s up to you.
CHORUS: They’ve finished their jobs over there Sam,/Now for a job over here,/Lest you forget, remember the vet,/Who proudly marched off amid cheers,/Over there everywhere, sleeps a loved one dear,/They finished their jobs over there Sam,/Now give them a job over here.
VERSE 02: They’re not asking much of you Sammy,/It’s only what’s honest and right,/While you stayed at home,/They sailed cross the foam,/Died so as to live that you might,/God bless them they’re helpless tho happy,/Still proud of their Red, White and Blue,/Oh God it’s a shame, someone is to blame,/America it’s up to you.
VERSE 03: Remember their dear sweet old Mother,/Altho her poor heart it did break,/She gave up her boy,/Her hope, pride and joy,/Who died for his dear country’s sake,/She’s no one to care for or help her,/She’s wrinkled and lonesome today,/Your promise fulfill pass that bonus bill,/America what do you say.
