THE BOYS OF THE U. S. ARMY.

The boys of the u S. army
Are the brave boys of today;
They are helping their Uncle Sammy
TO get the Germans out of our way.
When the boys go into battle,
Their jaws are tightly set;
They think of the German devils
And pull out their bayonet.
When they see their comrades falling,
With fatal wound in the breast
They side-step the German wretchcs
Ard their bayonets do the rest.
