Lyrics
  • On the Fields of France Here’s to the blue of the windswept North, when we meet on the fields of France
  • May the spirit of Grant be with you all, as the sons of the North advance. And here’s to the gray of the sun-kissed South, when we meet on the fields of France
  • May the spirit of Lee be with you all, as the sons of the South advance. And here’s to the blue and the gray as one, when we meet on the fields of France
  • May the spirit of God be with you all as the sons of the flag advance, As the sons of the flag advance.
