"Stars And Stripes On Iwo Jima" lyrics

Stars And Stripes On Iwo Jima

When the Yanks raised the stars and stripes
On Iwo Jima Isle
Through the blood and tears
They won through
Bless the heart of each Yankee
There on Iwo Jima Isle
Resting neath a blanket of blue

High on the hill Suribachi
Waves old glory
And she always will
When the Yanks raised the stars and stripes
On Iwo Jima Isle
There were tears in their hearts
Though they smiled

When the Yanks raised the stars and stripes
On Iwo Jima Isle
Through the blood and tears
They won through
Bless the heart of each Yankee
There on Iwo Jima Isle
Resting neath a blanket of blue

High on the hill Suribachi
Waves old glory
And she always will
When the Yanks raised the stars and stripes
On Iwo Jima Isle
There were tears in their hearts
Though they smiled

When the Yanks raised the stars and stripes
On Iwo Jima Isle
There were tears in their hearts
Though they smiled
