Lyrics
  • Brave, loyal hears that send us forth to war, God keep you in His care! And when at the front where the battle rages high, We will be strong and true. Pray that our hearts and hands may never fail As we fight for our country and you.
  • Here Come the Khaki Boys Here come the khaki boys swinging down the line! Here come the khaki boys! See their rifles shine! Marching forth to meet the foe Bravely, without fear. God bless our khaki boys! Give them a rousing cheer! Hip hip hip hurrah! Hip hip hip hurrah! Hip hip hip hurrah! Hip hip hip hurrah! We’re off for the camp and are leaving you behind, Sisters and sweethearts fair
