"If you love this land of the free <br>
Bring 'em home, bring 'em home <br>
Bring them back from overseas <br>
Bring 'em home, bring 'em home <br>
<br>
It will make the politicians sad, I know <br>
Bring 'em home, bring 'em home <br>
They wanna tangle with their foe <br>
Bring 'em home, bring 'em home <br>
<br>
They wanna test their grand theories <br>
Bring 'em home, bring 'em home <br>
With the blood of you and me <br>
Bring 'em home, bring 'em home <br>
<br>
Now we'll give no more brave young lives <br>
Bring 'em home, bring 'em home <br>
For the gleam in someone's eyes <br>
Bring 'em home, bring 'em home <br>
<br>
The men will cheer and the boys will shout <br>
Bring 'em home, bring 'em home <br>
Yeah and we will all turn out <br>
Bring 'em home, bring 'em home <br>
<br>
The church bells will ring with joy <br>
Bring 'em home, bring 'em home <br>
To welcome our darlin' girls and boys <br>
Bring 'em home, bring 'em home <br>
<br>
We will lift our voice and sound <br>
Bring 'em home, bring 'em home <br>
Yeah, when Johnny comes marching home <br>
Bring 'em home, bring 'em home." <br>
