Lyrics
We Will All Stand By You Uncle Sammy Verse: When the darkest clouds of war swiftly gather, and our liberty itself is at stake, It is time for all freemen to muster, and the rule of all tyrants to break. Refrain: We will all stand by you Uncle Sammy, we will fight till all men shall be free, From the rule of Kaiser Bill, who does rob and burn and kill, our dear brothers across the sea, Your fair name is at stake Uncle Sammy, so we’ll fight for a lasting world’s peace. For the stars and stripes shall be signs of peace and liberty, and the emblem of our dear old Uncle Sammy. Verse: Our dear Washington, and Lincoln, have saved us, from our freedom’s enemies in the past, And our freedom right now is in danger, we are right, so we’ll fight to the last. Refrain
