Lyrics
Our Soldiers of ‘17 (this is also a march with lyrics!!!!!) Verse (trio): Goodbye to our soldiers, good bye, Go where your Uncle Sam wants you, Always happy, don’t even sigh, Be soldiers thru and thru. Ever ready be your reply, And stand by your officers, too. When command to forward, go quickly, fly, Forward with the Red, White, and Blue. Refrain: Hurrah to American Nation! To our soldiers hurrah! For they fight on land and ocean, Hurrah! Hurrah! Hurrah! Verse: Fight on land, on ocean, and sky, Fight to the last thru and thru, Wave the flag on low and on high, The old Red, White, and Blue. Let America be your cry, Be ready your duty to do, Then go forward with a spirit so high, Forward with the Red, White, and Blue. Refrain Verse: Like an eagle, keen be your eye. Hold on with courage of true blue, Roar our cannons high in the sky, High spirit thru and thru. Sing the nation’s liberty cry, And sing of our soldiers so true, They go forward on land, ocean, and sky, Forward with the Red, W
