VERSE 01: There’s a million mothers knocking at the nations door,/A million mothers, yes and there’ll be millions more,/And while within each mother heart they pray,/Just hark what one brave mother has to say. CHORUS: “America,/I raised a boy for you./America,/You’ll find him staunch and true,/Place a fun upon his shoulder,/He is ready to die or do./America, he is my only one/My hope, my pride and joy,/But if I had another, he would march beside his brother/America, here’s my boy.” VERSE 02: There’s a million mothers waiting by the fireside bright,/A million mothers, wairing for the call tonight./And while within each heart there’ll be a tear,/She’ll watch her boy go marching with a cheer. | |
