There's a Star Spangled Banner Waving Somewhere |
There’s a Star-Spangled Banner waving somewhere |
In a distant land so many miles away. |
Only Uncle Sam’s great heroes get to go there |
Where I wish that I could also live some day. |
I’d see Lincoln, Custer, Washington and Perry, |
And Nathan Hale and Colin Kelly, too. |
There’s a Star-Spangled Banner waving somewhere, |
Waving o’er the land of heroes brave and true. |
In this war with its mad schemes of destruction |
Of our country fair and our sweet liberty, |
By the mad dictators, leaders of corruption, |
Can’t the U. S. use a mountain boy like me? |
God gave me the right to be a free American, |
And for that precious right I’d gladly die. |
There’s a Star-Spangled Banner waving somewhere, |
That is where I want to live when I die. |
Though I realize I’m crippled, that is true, sir, |
Please don’t judge my courage by my twisted leg. |
Let me show my Uncle Sam what I can do, sir, |
Let me help to bring the Axis down a peg. |
If I do some great deed I will be a hero, |
And a hero brave is what I want to be. |
There’s a Star-Spangled Banner waving somewhere, |
In that heaven there should be a place for me. |
