FOR KING AND COUNTRY.
Composed by Rifleman Arthur Hay (Chariie), wounded December 2 >, died January 1.
Boys, don't you hear tlieiu calling, Calling across the foam? Brave hearts are badly needed To light for the dear old home. Duty must be done, boys. The cause that we have is right: What are you Ko:ng to do, boysStay at home, or fight?
Boys, there's a little nation Of whom the world is proud; Tliev saved the situation And held back the German crow] What are you going to do, love, Are you going to do your share' J Send a message across the seas "Fight on! We'll soon be there.*'
After the war is over And freedom again is won. And lathers speak with pride Of deeds that their soils have dent, What are you going to say. boys. When asked what was your shaiv? "I stayed l'ke a coward at home," Or, "Thank God. I was there."
