Yankee Land 1918

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 09 Feb 2003

Daddy dear
don't you hear soldiers marching,
down the hill, see them drill all in line,
and their uniforms that look so stunning
on parade; ain't that great
see the tears, hear the cheers,
tell me Daddy
what those young men like brother ever did,
then the father fill'd with joy
in his arms then took the boy
then tenderly to him said:

When the soldiers march away
and the crowd is shouting out
[spoken:] Hurrah!
[Sung:] They're the heroes of
Uncle Sam, Yankee Land
ain't they grand
then you see the sailor boys in blue
marching to the tune of
(Yankee Doodle we love you),
they all look fine
and they're willing to die
Oh say can you see
It's your Yankee Land.

"Daddy dear,
listen here I've been dreaming,"
said the lad to his Daddy once more,
there I see our soldier boys returning
vict'ry won; war was done,
waving flags, big brass bands,
all were playing
Gee the welcome they got was simply grand,
then your words came back to me
as our boys all march'd away,
'Twas then that I heard you say:

When the soldiers march away
and the crowd is shouting out
[spoken:] Hurrah!
[Sung:] They're the heroes of
Uncle Sam, Yankee Land
ain't they grand
then you see the sailor boys in blue
marching to the tune of
(Yankee Doodle we love you),
they all look fine
and they're willing to die
Oh say can you see
It's your Yankee Land.
