1. 1915 1917 America, I raised a boy for you.
I didn’t raise my boy to be a soldier,
I brought him up to be my pride and joy.
Who dares…place a musket on his shoulder,
To shoot some other mother’s darling boy?

America, You’ll find him staunch and true,
Place a gun upon his shoulder,
He is ready to die or do.
