"Over in France -where the death shells scream
The boys are fighting as in 3 dream;
A glorious dream of blood and hell.
While I »tay home and prosper well
Over in France they are dying now
Like red earth turned by a giant plow;
They are going across with a smile for me.
While 1 stay home in security.
Over in France the gas clouds roll
And the shower of steel is talcing its toll;
The flagd rives on, but the boys lie still.
While I live on and eat my fill.
Great God in heaven, in whom we trust.
Tnm the food in my throat to dust
If 1 miss one chance that may come to me
To bring them home with the victory!
