Keep The Home Fires Burning (1917) |
| They were summoned from the hillside, they were called in from the glen, |
| And the country found them ready at the stirring call for men. |
| Let no tears add to their hardships, as the soldiers pass along, |
| Keep the Home Fires Burning, |
| While your hearts are yearning, |
| Though your lads are far away they dream of home. |
| There’s a silver lining, through the dark clouds shining, |
| Turn the dark cloud inside out, 'til the boys come home. |
| Overseas there came a pleading, |
| «Help a nation in distress.» |
| And we gave our glorious laddies, honor bade us do no less, |
| For no gallant son of freedom to a tyrant’s yoke should bend, |
| And a noble heart must answer to the sacred call of «Friend.» |
| Keep the Home Fires Burning, |
| While your hearts are yearning, |
| Though your lads are far away they dream of home. |
| There’s a silver lining, through the dark clouds shining, |
| Turn the dark cloud inside out 'til the boys come home. |
