Oh, he stood like the oak in the tempest,
and he weathered the storm all the while,
there were times
when his heart seemed a breaking
but he still carried on with a smile.

Goodbye old comrade
so faithful and true,
tho' you have left us
we still think of you,
in rain or sunshine,
a friend and a man,
goodbye Teddy Roosevelt
you were a real American.

Goodbye old comrade
so faithful and true,
tho' you have left us
we still think of you,
in rain or sunshine,
a friend and a man,
goodbye Teddy Roosevelt
you were a real American.

Oft he fought
for the love of the fighting,
but he fought
on the side of the right,
he was best
when the odds were against him
and he never gave ground in the fight.

Goodbye old comrade
so faithful and true,
tho' you have left us
we still think of you,
in rain or sunshine,
a friend and a man,
goodbye Teddy Roosevelt
you were a real American.

Goodbye old comrade
so faithful and true,
tho' you have left us
we still think of you,
in rain or sunshine,
a friend and a man,
goodbye Teddy Roosevelt
you were a real American.
