Over There

by (1878–1942)

Listen in the reader

[verse] 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 her boy's in line.

[refrain] Over there Over there Send the word, send the word over there That the Yanks are coming, The Yanks are coming, The drums rum-tumming everywhere.

So prepare Say a pray'r Send the word, send the word to beware. We'll be over, We're coming over, And we won't come back Till it's over over there.
