The Girl Behind The Gun 1917 "Her Regiment"

The Amazons of history
were always in the van,
they were right in the fight
and they put to blush the average man.
For deeds of valor they performed,
and thought it just a lark,
so my aim is the same,
I'm a modern Joan of Arc.

Where the battle wildly rages,
that's where I would try to be.
All the heroines of ages
were in my mind and I combined
the very life and soul of Cleopatra.
When I lived among the Army
there was not a Mother's son
who would dare to try to harm me,
for if you knew it's always true
that there's a girl behind the gun.

Where the battle wildly rages,
that's where I would try to be.
All the heroines of ages
were in my mind and I combined
the very life and soul of Cleopatra.
When I lived among the Army
there was not a Mother's son
who would dare to try to harm me,
for if you knew it's always true
that there's a girl behind the gun.
