The Fireside Singers — Medley: You're A Grand Old Flag / Over There lyrics

Lyrics

There’s a feeling comes a-stealing
And it sets my brain a-reeling
When I’m listening to the music of a military band
Any tune like «Yankee Doodle»
Simply sets me off my noodle
It’s that patriotic something that no one can understand
«Way down south, in the land of cotton,»
Melody untiring
Ain’t that inspiring
Hurrah! Hurrah! We’ll join the jubilee
And that’s going some, for the Yankees, by gum
Red, white and blue, I am
For you
Honest, you’re a grand old flag
You’re a grand old flag
You’re a high flying flag
And forever in peace may you wave
You’re the emblem of
The land I love
The home of the free and the brave
Ev’ry heart beats true
Under Red, White and Blue
Where there’s never a boast or brag
But should auld acquaintance be forgot
Keep your eye on the grand old flag
Over there, over there
Send the word, send the word over there
That the Yanks are coming, the Yanks are coming
The drums rum-tumming everywhere
So prepare, say a prayer
Send the word, send the word to beware
We’ll be over, we’re coming over
And we won’t come back till it’s over, over there
So prepare, say a prayer, Send the word, send the word to beware
We’ll be over, we’re coming over
And we won’t come back till it’s over, over there
