1. STAR SPANGLED BANNER (E flat)

What so proudly we hailed at the

Whose broad stripes and bright
stars thru the perilous fight?
O'er the ramparts we watchedj were

And the -rockets' red glarej the
bombs bursting in air.,
Gave proof thru the night that our
flag was still there.
Chj sayi does that Star Spangled
Banner yet wave,,
O'er the land of the freej and the
home of the brave?
Jhj thus be it ever when free men
shall stand
Between their lov'd homes and the
war's desolation!
Blest with vict*ry and peacej may
the heaven rescued land
Praise the power that hath made
and preserved us a nation!
Then conquer we mustj when our
cause it is justj
\nd this be our motto., "In God is
our Trust".

There's a Star Spangled Banner
waving somewhere
That is where I want to live when
I die.
Tho1 I realize I haven*t had much
schoolingj
Just to be a U.S. soldier would be
swell
There's been m£ny a great hero from
the mountains -
Sergeant York was one and he did
'mighty wellj
If I do some great deed I will be
a hero,,
And a hero brave is what.I want to bej
TJtere's a Star Spangled Banner wav-

In that heaven there should be a
place for me.-

A Capital ship for an ocean trip
Was the "Walloping Window Blind8'!
No wind that blew dismayed her crew
Or troubled the Captain's mind;
The mil at the wheel was made to

Contempt for the wildest blow~ow~ow
Tho' it often appeared^ when the
gale had cleared,,
That he'd been in his bunk below.
CHORUS
Then blow^ ye winds4 heigh-o!
A roTing I will go!
I'll stay no moire on England's shore
So let the music play-ay-ay!
I'm off for the morning train!
I'll cross the raging main!
I'm off j my love,, with a boxing
glove
Ten thousand miles away!
