Lyrics
  • [verse 1] Ten million men have answered to a mighty nations call. / Ten million men for love of country gladly give up all. / Ten million men to do or die will proudly march away, That means ten million hearts will beat, ten million tongues will say.
  • [refrain 1] “Goodbye,” that means you little girl, But he knows that your heart is true. / “Goodbye,” that means you little wife, But you're proud he's a soldier too. / “Goodbye,” that means you little wife, But you're proud he's a soldier too. / “Goodbye,” parts a sister and brother, And a dad from his pride and joy / “Goodbye,” that means you little mother, And may God send back your boy.
  • [verse 2] Ten million homes and from each home a hero soon will start, Ten million homes and in each home the time will come to part. / Ten million homes and in each home they're proud to see him go, That means ten million men go forth ten million men although.
  • [refrain 2]
