Lyrics
  • We’ll Stick Till America Comes Through Verse: You have heard about the boys from Tipperary, and about the Tommy Atkins too, But the gallant boys I love to sing about, are the Dixie boys and Yankee Doodles too. And when duty calls upon them for the fighting, you will always find them in the ring
  • And when they march away, though it be night or day, you’ll always hear them sing: Refrain: We will march, march, march ‘neath the red, white and blue, And show the foreign nations what America can do
  • We will march, march, march as our fathers marched before, Marching to victory as in the days of yore
  • We will march, march, march, never falt’ring on the way, A credit to our loved ones and the good old U.S.A. We will march, march, march, with our hearts both brave and true, And we’ll stick till America comes through. Verse: You can turn and turn the hist’ry’s pages over, and you’ll know then what our boys have done, That they always fought for right and liberty, and they never quit until the fi
