She'll Be There 1917

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 28 Feb 2003

Now songs are sung in ev'ry tongue
of heroes tried and true,
who fight and die to keep on high
the old Red White and Blue.
We don't hear much about the girl
that Johnny leaves behind,
but when you strike her Uncle Sam
she'll do her bit you'll find.

She'll be there,
she'll be there
like her sisters were in days of SixtyOne.
She'll be knitting socks and sweaters
for the German pirate getters
Rally 'round the flag she'll cry
and Johnny get your gun,
She'll be there
she'll be there,
you'll find the Yankee Doodle girl a bear.
She'll forget her father's riches
she'll be mending soldiers breeches,
she'll be there,
she'll be there.

She'll be there,
she'll be there
like her sisters were in days of SixtyOne.
She'll be knitting socks and sweaters
for the German pirate getters
Rally 'round the flag she'll cry
and Johnny get your gun,
She'll be there
she'll be there,
you'll find the Yankee Doodle girl a bear.
She'll forget her father's riches
she'll be mending soldiers breeches,
she'll be there,
she'll be there.

You never knew a Mother
to foresake a son in need
or shirk the strife
when man and wife
are born of trouble seed.
And since the days of Mother Eve
their banner stands unfurled,
they shared our tears
for years and years
the women of the world.

She'll be there,
she'll be there
like her sisters were in days of SixtyOne.
She'll be knitting socks and sweaters
for the German pirate getters
Rally 'round the flag she'll cry
and Johnny get your gun,
She'll be there
she'll be there,
you'll find the Yankee Doodle girl a bear.
She'll forget her father's riches
she'll be mending soldiers breeches,
she'll be there,
she'll be there.

She'll be there,
she'll be there
like her sisters were in days of SixtyOne.
She'll be knitting socks and sweaters
for the German pirate getters
Rally 'round the flag she'll cry
and Johnny get your gun,
She'll be there
she'll be there,
you'll find the Yankee Doodle girl a bear.
She'll forget her father's riches
she'll be mending soldiers breeches,
she'll be there,
she'll be there.
