Lyrics | The Spirit of Our Boys Verse: Old Glory’s calling us, and be sure we’ll be right there, There is no stalling us, we’ll all do our share, Like our forefathers fought, we’ll fight afraid of naught To save humanity, from oppression on land and on sea. Refrain: “In God we trust” is the motto, of the good old U.S.A. We’ll march straight forward into battle for our homes we’ll fight and pray, We’re ready now to serve our country and the ones we love so true, And we’ll fight with all our might for the cause we know is right and the old red, white, and blue. Verse: We’ll down autocracy, tho’ we’re forced our lives to give, There’ll be democracy, and our flag will live, Back home they work and pray, to help us win the day We must have victory, for our nation on land and on sea.
