Men were dyin’ wid thousands of groans,

Now peace declared an’ boys at home.

Uncle Sam he made and signed a decree

For American nation to ben’ de knee.

God sits in Heaven an’ answers prayer,

An’ dey had to stop fightin’ over there.

We put ourselves as debt to God,

We say we’d follow where he trod,

But de way got dark and we couldn’t see

Jes’ who de winner of war would be.
