Why Are You Marching, Son? - John Wayne/Jimmy Dorsey & His Orchestra
Why Are You Marching Son
I'd really like to know
Because of Valley Forge or perhaps the Alamo
Or One if by land two if by sea
A trumpet's callthe will to be free
What of a man who stood straight and tall
Who wept silent tears when he saw brave men fall
No matter no difference the blue or the gray
All were his brother
Show often he'd pray
And what of Antietam that now peaceful stream
Where the water blood-red glittered and gleamed
Appomattox Chickamauga Vicksburg Bull Run
Cumberland Gettys burgand then Washington
Why Are You Marching Son
In Flanders Fields how proud were they
Whose forms beneath the poppies lay
Men who saw Verdun
And died at the Marne Soissons
And those who tried the fearful foe at Chateau-Thierry
Who fought and bled whose hearts grew weary
But in whose minds one thought kept churning
That the torch of liberty keep burning
Why Are You Marching Son
The planes swarmed in and the rising sun
Glowed fiercely on the evil done
To men whose blood runs through our veins
Men who died and whose remains
Life forever locked in waters deep
Now is it right that they should sleep
While the warm sea laps at a twisted hull
See the torch of liberty grow dull
Anzio Cassinoand the Po
St Mere EgliseLe Mans St Lo
Gardelegen Buchenwald
On and on the roll is called
And why
Why Are You Marching Son
Bugles shrilled in the frozen night
And at first dawn the awful sight
Of seas of menrow after row
Left to die on blood-stained snow
Pusan Pyongyang Suwan Kyongju
And blood-red ran the swift Yalu
In South Vietnam the big guns roared
And once again we fought a war
To honor a pledge our nation gave
To help that little country save
Her people from the certainty
That she'd be ruled by tyranny
No matter where the big guns roar
Our fighting men like those before
Take the torch we all hold dear
And face freedom's enemies without fear
Our fathers died from sea to sea
And blessed the torch of liberty
