| The American GI |  |
| The American GI to the war has gone
In the ranks on bravery you will find them
Their mother's faith will guide them on
And their dad's true love will never leave them
1st verse
There they are in a foreign land
Obeying orders from the high command
The Stars and Stripes will guide them on
And the love back home will never leave them
(chorus)
The American GI to the war has gone
In the ranks on bravery you will find them
Their mother's faith will guide them on
And their dad's true love will never leave them
2nd verse
With a buddy and a gun thru the sand they will run
In the dust of the desert you will find them
The Stars and Stripes will guide them on
And the love back home will never leave them
(chorus)
The American GI to the war has gone
In the ranks on bravery you will find them
Their mother's faith will guide them on
And their dad's true love will never leave them
3rd verse
Way back home their families pray
That they'll come back and be free some day
The Stars and Stripes will guide them on
And the love back home will never leave them
(chorus)
The American GI to the war has gone
In the ranks on bravery you will find them
Their mother's faith will guide them on
And their dad's true love will never leave them
4th verse (spoken word- optional)
Land of hope for the warriors brave
A land of freedom they are there to save
The monster tanks still rumble by
Lest not we forget those who have died
