| Lyrics | He’s a Soldier of the U.S.A. Verse: Hark, our country’s call to arms is sounding Volunteers respond from ev’ry state ‘Cross the verdant hills and dales abounding All stand by the Union strong and great Sweethearts, friends, and mothers now are grieving Gazing down into the future years For their fair-haired boy tonight is bravely leaving He leaves behind a trail of sighs and tears. Refrain: He’s a soldier, let him have the way He’s a soldier of the Blue and Gray Oh how we will miss him if he fall in battle’s fray God bless you soldier boy of the U.S.A. Verse: Way down south the shot and shell are falling ‘Cross the hills of far off Mexico Hark, it seems I hear the bugle calling Soldier boy has gone to face the foe, Many are the nights that we’ll be sighing Many are the days that we’ll be sad For upon the battle field among the dying God knows they may find our brave soldier-lad.
