Words transcribed from the piano roll:

- VOICE -
Hark the roar of canon's angry thunder over no-man's land today.
As before, we'll tear their ranks asunder as we plunge into the fray.
All the world is watching while we battle for the cause of truth and right.
Strike for home and native land! Great Jehovah gives command
Charge! Charge! Charge!
Come on boys, charge ... and we shall conquer the Hun;
Ere day is done ...the battle shall be won;
The foe shall reel ... before our steel ... and tyranny shall bend the knee
to libertee-ee.
Neath our own flag ... so poudly floating on high, we'll show the world ...
that we are ready to die
with ringing shout and cheer that knows no fear we'll fight for those ... we
love.

My flag that floats proud..ly from yon lof-ty spire,
has kin-dled in all our hearts true free-doms de-sire.
My coun-try for e-ev-er and ev-er shall be
a re-fuge and ha--ven un fettered and free.

I love you America! Oh! Thy sacren name ...
thru love and devo-o-tion my life you can claim.
My coun-try for-ev-er my flag gives to me
that priceless in-her-i-tence sweet lib-er-ty.
