Brave Son of America - C.W. Stoneking

His name would always be, always be recorded in history

His name would always be, always be recorded in history

It gives me inspiration to sing, his heroic stand in the Phillipines

No man can be braver than General MacArthur, the Son of America

With his traditional warriors at his side, he gave the Japanese the first

suprise

For when they called on him to surrender, «I am an American» was his answer

«And in the name of democracy, I will die for freedom and liberty»

They don’t come no braver than General MacArthur, the Son of America

Let us go back in past history, go think George Washington and General Lee

Hmm even hailin' Patrick Henry, Abe Lincholn — emancipator in slavery

But we’ll read of MacArthur when he’s gone, for he’s a genius if one was ever

born

They don’t come no braver than General MacArthur, the Son of America

When you hear me singing my characteristic song, from the book of editions that

last so long

This vocabulary that is list in me, it is owing to my high class propensity

I am not versed in psychology, I’m a man who can sing intelligently

I say they come no braver than General MacArthur, the Son of America

With the stars and stripes laying at his side, for this flag he intend to die

MacArthur, the man with the heart of steel, to the invading Japs he wouldn’t

never yield

He told the Japanese for a fact, «I'm leaving Corregidor, but I’m coming back»

They don’t come no braver than General MacArthur, the Son of America
