I wrote this one a while back on this subject.
“All my friends...Argonne”
Vs 1:
Well We set out from New England,
Dodging U-Boats all the way,
When we landed they said we were Doughboys then,
Scores of raw untested Yankees,
Hungry boys so far from home,
But the ones who’d make it back returned as men,
It was 1918!,
when we marched into the forest,
Drunk upon the thirst of battle we were brave,
For the next Hundred Days!,
Fought the foe that waited for us,
Where many a soldier found an early grave,
Chorus:
Bullets screaming through the trees,
Seeking out a soldier’s death,
As we stood against a stalwart enemy,
Bombs wrote bloodsoaked symphonies,
Poison gas choked out our breath,
‘Til the only soldier left alive was me,
And the bodies fell like firewood,
Piling higher, till the dawn
And now All, my friends...Argonne
Vs 2:
By our side the Brits and Frenchies,
Fought and died against the hun,
As we pressed into the dark primeval wood,
As the frost consumed the forest,
Teeth chattered like Vickers guns,
Trying to survive in any way we could,
Cut a path through the wire!,
Through the breach we’d rush screaming,
Soldiers falling down as crimson stained the snow,
Into machine gun fire,
Sending men to endless dreaming,
The survivors bringing vengeance to the foe,
Chorus:
Bullets screaming through the trees,
Seeking out a soldier’s death,
As we stood against a stalwart enemy,
Bombs wrote bloodsoaked symphonies,
Poison gas choked out our breath,
‘Til the only soldier left alive was me,
And the bodies fell like firewood,
Piling higher, till the dawn
And now All, my friends...Argonne
All…my friends…Argonne.
