Keep The Home Fires Burning[Till The Boys Come Home]
Verse They were sum-moned from the hill-side, They were called in from the glen, And the Coun-try found them read-y At the stir-ring call for men._____ Let no tears add to their hard-ship; As the Sol-diers pass a-long And al-though your heart is break-ing, Make it sing this cheer-y song.___ Chorus Keep the Home-fires burn-ing, While your hearts are yearn-ing, Though your lads are far a-way They dream of Home; There's a sil-ver lin-ing Through the dark cloud shin-ing, Turn the dark cloud in-side out, Till the boys come Home. Verse O-ver seas there came a plead-ing "Help a Na-tion in dis-tress," And we gave our glo-rious lad-dies; Hon-or made us do no less._____ For no gal-lant Son of Free-dom To a ty-rant's yoke should bend, And a no-ble heart must an-swer To the sa - cred call of "Friend".___ Chorus Keep the Home-fires burn-ing, While your hearts are yearn-ing, Though your lads are far a-way They dream of Home; There's a sil-ver lin-ing Through the dark cloud shin-ing, Turn the dark cloud in-side out, Till the boys come Home.
