Lyrics | I’m Going to be a Soldier and Fight for the U.S.A. Verse: Yankee Boys you’ve got to do great fighting, Fighting for Uncle Sam, We were tread on by a foreign nation, And they want to rule ev’ry land, The rights of the seas are shattered, And all that’s noble and great, They never would listen to reason, Our freedom is at stake. Refrain: I’m going to be a soldier, and fight for the U.S.A. So will men of nationality, who came over here to stay, I’m bound to fight when the cause is right, For “My Country ‘tis of Thee,” Ev’ry Mother’s son will shoulder a gun, To defend our Liberty. Verse: Yankee Boys the bugles they are calling, Calling for you to start, We must keep the stars and stripes a-waving, The flag that is dear to our heart, We all soon will be in action, There is no time for play, We’re bound we will have satisfaction, When we are in the fray. Refrain |
