America, Here's My Boy

America, Here's My Boy - The Peerless Quartet

There's a million mothers

Knocking at the nation's door

A million mothers

Yes and there'll be millions more

And while within each mother heart they pray

Just hark what one brave mother has to say

America I raised a boy for you

America you'll find him staunch and true

Place a gun upon his shoulder

He is ready to die or do

America he is my only one

My hope my pride and joy

But if I had another

He would march beside his brother

America here's my boy

There's a million mothers

Waiting by the fireside bright

A million mothers

Waiting for the call tonight

And while within each heart there'll be a tear

She'll watch her boy go marching with a cheer

America I raised a boy for you

America you'll find him staunch and true

Place a gun upon his shoulder

He is ready to die or do

America he is my only one

My hope my pride and joy

But if I had another

He would march beside his brother

America here's my boy

America here's my boy

America he is my only one

My hope my pride and joy

But if I had another

He would march beside his brother

America here's my boy
