Johnnie get your gun,
Get your gun, get your gun,
Take it on the run,
On the run, on the run,
Hear them calling you and me
Every son of liberty
Hurry right away
No delay go today
Make your daddy glad
To have had such a lad
Tell your sweetheart not to pine
To be proud their boy's in line.
Over There
Over There
Send the word
Send the word
That the boys/Yanks are coming
The boys/Yanks are coming
The drums rum-tuming everywhere.
So prepare say a pray'r
Send the word
Send the word
To beware.
It will be over
We're coming over
And we won't come back
Till it's over
Over there.
