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)
