Lyrics | Every Mother’s Son Must be a Soldier Verse: The old Red, White and Blue should mean a lot to you, My boy if you’re a true American. U.S.A. must stand for justice in our land, For progress due alike to ev’ry man. Old Uncle Sam has stood, for everything that’s good, And equal right we’ll give to everyone. We still have in our bones the spirit of Paul Jones, The courage and the grit of Washington. Refrain: Every mother’s son must be a soldier, Ever ready for the nations call, And then we’ll never need a great big navy Just a few to lead us that is all. Our flag has ever stood for peace and progress, For right with might we’ll fight until we fall. We’re unprepared today to make ready for the fray, So every mother’s son must be a soldier. Verse: America the free has stood for liberty, For progress that has ever made us true. For boys will never fight, unless the cause is right, And uphold the old Red, White and Blue. The minute men that won the day at Lexington, Their spirit is still leadin |
