Stars And Stripes Over Iwo Jima - Bob Wills

When the Yanks raised

The Stars and Stripes on Iwo Jima Isle

Thru' the blood and tears they won thru'

Bless the heart of each Yankee

There on Iwo Jima Isle

Resting 'neath a blanket of blue

High on the hill Suribachi flies

Old Glory and she always will

When the Yanks raised

The Stars and Stripes on Iwo Jima Isle

There were tears in their hearts

Tho' they smiled

When the Yanks raised

The Stars and Stripes on Iwo Jima Isle

Ev’ry heart could sing once again

And the sight of Old Glory over Iwo Jima Isle

Swelled the hearts of our fighting men

Long will it wave o’er the hilltop

As a symbol of heroes who died

When the Yanks raised

The Stars and Stripes on Iwo Jim Isle

Each American heart filled with pride
