Lyrics
From Valley Forge to France Verse: Valley Forge of song and story, Valley Forge of fame and glory, Bid your slumb’ring host awaken, Washington arise anew! Gallant Continentals, don your regimentals, Hark the call to arms, there’s work to do! Refrain: From Valley Forge to France, o’er the road that leads out of the past, Come! Ye men who fought and won, follow Washington! “March on! March on!” His spirit bids, “Advance, o’er land, o’er sea, to victory, from Valley Forge to France.” Verse: Liberty, the cause you fought for, liberty, the goal you sought for, Is within the balance trembling, bare [sic?] your arms and strike again! Strike! For all ye cherish, strike! Lest freedom perish, Come! We need you now as we did then. Refrain
