Lyrics | At the front of the battles you found us, amid the rain of shell and shot, the boys would shout a glad chorus when the battles were very hot, but they faltered, faltered never when the big gas bombs would fall, and a happy welcome awaits them for they won it once for all. The boys are coming, coming home, with the victory they have won, yes, welcome the boys whose hearts beat true, they won with the red, white and blue, yes, the boys are coming, coming home, with the victory they have won, yes, welcome the boys whose hearts beat true, they won with the red, white and blue. At the front of the battles you found us, where many of our heroes fell, who fighting the cause of freedom, and they did it, and did it well, and now that it is all over and our gratitude must be shown, and a happy welcome awaits them when the boys come marching home. |
