H. Horlock, a Wells Fargo agent at Bancroft, Kansas: Gone from home and all that's dear, Into a war-filled atmosphere, With manhood and courage to do right Somewhere in Franco they -will fight Your boy and mine. Gone across the sea red with blood Into the trenches filled with mud, Carrying Freedom's shining light Far into the darkness of night Your boy and mine. Gone over the top into No Man's Land. Will they ever return? We hope, we understand, Glory awalts( them wherever they go, To check or capture a remorseless foe Your boy and mine. Gone to war, but all is well; For God is with them, Who will tell Where to send the speeding shell That will end this earthly hell for Your boy and mine. |
