c company - till we bring our johnnies home again lyrics
[sung verse]
it started with the sinking
of some u.s. submarine
wilson called the meeting then
in 1917
he said “at last, we see the facts
with no veil of pretense
to go to war, protect our shores
is all that can make sense…”
we don’t them over here
so, we’ll go over there
they sabotaged and sunk our ships
it’s more than we can bear
we’ll send our army over
but won’t let them stand alone
we that are left will do our bеst
to bring our johnnies home
[chorus]
until we can
bring all our johnniеs home
there is much that each can do
and each much to his own
sacrifice and work together
then it won’t be long
when it’s over, over there
we’ll bring our johnnies home
(ho+oh+ome)
[spoken verse]
america’s life changed
from a leisure, to a feverish pace
shoulder to shoulder
we set out to win the race
we were caught quite unprepared
we got right to the task
we sent our johnnies right over there
then worked to bring them back
a stern looking uncle sam
appeared on posters everywhere
with a pointed finger
‘i want you!’ + he did declare
soldier and civilian
sang a song called ‘over there’
to let them know the yanks
were coming to help win the war
the u.s. army was four million
and eight hundred+thousand men
pershing landed them in france
we were allies again
remembering the help of france
(oo+ooh, oo+ooh)
in the revolutionary war
(oo+ooh, oo+ooh)
they went to a famous grave and said
(oo+ooh, oo+ooh)
‘la fayette, we are here’
(oo+oo+ooh)
the war was won
but war will never be all victory
in belgium, a remembrance of world war i
(god bless america)
is there to see
there are three hundred and sixty+eight
(my home sweet home)
in flanders field alone
just a few of many johnnies
(god bless america)
who never will come marching home
(my home sweet home)
