Old Soldiers Never Die, They Just Fade Away - Gene Autry

Chorus:

Old Soldier’s Never Die

Never die, never die

Old Soldier’s Never Die

They just fade away

On the seventh day of December

In the year of forty-one

The free world met disaster

At the hands of the Rising Sun

From the bastions of Corregidor

Pearl Harbor and Bataan

Came the sound of war and fury

And the Death March of free man.

Then from the land

Of way down under

A mighty voice did say

Our cause is just

In God we trust

I will return someday

From Mindanao to Tarawa

Our battle song it grew

Till on Surabachi

At last Old Glory flew

From Iwo, Leyte

And a thousand Isles

Our just cause never ceased

Until one day, he did return

And once more, there was peace

Now somewhere, there stands the man

His duty o’er and won

The world will ne’er forget him

To him we say, «Well done»

(Chorus)
