SONG OF THE LIBERTY PLANE.

SONG OF THE LIBERTY PLANE.
Az The Liberty battle plane over the
4 sea.
Is hunting the Boche in the air,
Where the sun cannot shine for the
gray rolling smoke.
Or the moon for the red, laaping
glare
She carries the hopes of the world on
her wings
And she speeds in the wake of her
prey
For the flag has caressed her, and
Freedom has blessed her,
And Glory has pointed the way.
The Liberty flyer is roaring aloft
To victory up in the sky,
Sic is teaching the Hun with her lit
tie old gun
That her motto is conquer or die
She is singing a song as she whizzes
along
With a brave U. s. soldier to man
her
For the planes as they sail in the
teeth of the gale.
Are humming The Star-Spangled
Banner"
