The Marines’ Hymn

THE MARINES' HYMN

From the Halls of Montezuma 
To the shores of Tripoli
We fight our country’s battles
In the air, on land and sea.

First to fight for right and freedom
And to keep our honor clean;
We are proud to claim the title of
United States Marine.

Our flag's unfurled to every breeze 
from dawn to setting sun.
We have fought in every clime and place, 
where we could take a gun.

In the snow of far off northern lands 
and in sunny tropic scenes,
You will find us always on the job,
The United States Marines.

Here's health to you and to our Corps 
which we are proud to serve.           
In many a strife we've fought for life 
and never lost our nerve.

If the Army and the Navy ever look on heaven's scenes,
they will find the streets are guarded by 
United States Marines.
