And they Emhave a leader Gto the fDold,
And CoEmrcoran wDas his nEmame

It was Emin the month of GAprilD,
When the bEmoys they saCiled awDay
And they mEmade a sight so GgloriouDs,
As they mEmarched aloDng BroaEmdway

They marGched right down BroDadway, me boys,
UnEmtil they reaCched the sDhore
And from tEmhere they went to WGashingtDon,
And stEmraight unDto the Emwar

So we gaGve them a hearty chDeer, me boys,
It was gEmreeted wCith a smDile
Singing hEmere's to the bGoys who feDared no noise,
We're the FiEmghting SiDxty NEminth

And wEmhen the war is sGaid and dDone,
May heEmaven spCare our liDves
For its oEmnly then we cGan retDurn,
To our loEmved ones aDnd our Emwives

We'll taGke them in our aDrms, me boys,
For a Emlong nightC and a Dday
And we'll Emhope that war will cGome no mDore,
To sEmweet AmDeriEmca

Which was gEmreeted wiCth a smDile
Singing hEmere's to the boys who feGared no nDoise,
We're the FiEmghting SiDxty NiEmnth

Which was grEmeeted wCith a smDile
Singing hEmere's to the boys who feGared no noDise,
