The initial verse OF the United States

An Yer rough an ready. steady in

You kin sing about yer Jackie an kin

Fer yer neat an handy. dandy

But of all the sojer men I ever knew.
An of all the sailor men I ever seen,
When there's fun or fuss or fight, the
boy to keep in sight
Is Billy Blue, United States Marine,
An it's hi Billy. Billy. Billy Blue!

as can be seen or heard.
Songs OF Our Sailors
While Jacky likes the popular
music hall hits as well as his soldier
brother his vocal stand bys usually
have favor of the sea, and with
him. too, the old songs retain their
place in favor. The navy songs in
use today include. The Midshipmlte'

OF the Deep" "Homeward Bound.
The Anchors Weighed" SAILING,
