America, Here's My Boy! Composer(s): Arthur Lange - Andrew B. Sterling Performer(s): Henry Burr
There's a million mothers knocking at the nation's door A million mothers, yes and there'll be millions more And while within each mother heart they pray Just hark what one brave mother has to say
America, I raised a boy for you America, you'll find him staunch and true Place a gun upon his shoulder, he is ready to die or do America, he is my only one, my hope, my pride and joy But if I had another, he would march beside his brother America, here's my boy!
There's a million mothers waiting by the fireside bright A million mothers, waiting for the call tonight And while within each heart there'll be a tear She'll watch her boy go marching with a cheer
America, I raised a boy for you America, you'll find him staunch and true Place a gun upon his shoulder, he is ready to die or do America, he is my only one, my hope, my pride and joy But if I had another, he would march beside his brother America, here's my boy!
