Lyrics
We’re Going to Win for Old Glory Verse: Our soldiers are marching and cheers fill the air The bands are a playing the tune to “over there” Old Glory waves proudly the boys singing loudly We’re going to fight for the land of liberty. Refrain: We’re going to win for Old Glory always she is for the right To that aim we all stand together for right always makes might We know when we meet we will whip them remember before we come home We’re going to win for Old Glory for defeat she’s never yet known. Verse: When wartime is over they’ll sail ‘cross the foam The bands will be playing the tune to “home sweet home” The bells will be ringing the home folks all singing They’re sailing for homeland with peace and victory. Refrain
