Over in France they are dying now
Like red earth turned by a giant plow;
They aire 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 taking its toll;
The flagd rives on, but the boys lie still,
While 1 live on and eat my fill.
Great God in heaven, in whom we trust.
Tnrn the food in my throat to dust
If 1 miss one chance that may come to me
To bring them home with the victory!
