NJ. WOODS. Sergeant, Co. +, c3d Infantr
Why worry? 1t is necessary
That we enter In this war.
Why hesitate? We must not tarry,
It's the right we battle for.
Why sorrow when Old Glory leads us
'Gainst the foe across the sea?
Well we know our country needs US
To insure her victory.
Why should those we love and cherish
Sorrow for our sacrifice?
For we know that some must PERISH
War calls always for a price.
Wen 60 over, eager. gladly.
To protect those whom we love.
Our return will not be sadly,
For we know there's One above
Who will comfort them In sadness,
Ease our burdens OH our way,
Fill our hearts witt tOv md gladness,
Till the coming of that day
When all nations join in praises
For our victory, so sure.
Joined for all the coming ages,
Ronds of friendship, strong and pure.
So. to those that we are leaving,
Help with I'll your heart and soul;
Thus from you we'll be receiving
