BURNING

They were summoned from the hill-side, They were called in from the glen, And the country found them ready At the stirring call for men. I jet no tear add to their hardship, As the soldiers pass along, And although your heart is breaking. Make it sing this cheery song. Chorus Keep the home fires burning, while your heart is yearning, Though your lads are far away, they dream of home; There’s a silver lining, through the dark cloud* shining. Turn the dark clouds inside out, till the boys come home. Overseas there came a pleading. Help a nation in distress’ And we gave our glorious laddies, Hontor made us do no lees —- For no gallant Son of Freedom, To a tyrant’s yoke should bend, And a noble heart must answer To the sacred call of “Friend.”
