Lyrics
1. Angels they are weeping o’er the foreign war
Transports are sailing from shore to shore
Brave heroes are falling to arise no more
But still the bugle’s calling every man to war
Chorus:
After the war is over and the world’s at peace
Many a heart will be aching after the war has ceased
Many a home will be vacant, many a child alone
But I hope they’ll all be happy
In a place called “Home sweet Home”
2. Changed will be the picture of the foreign lands
Maps will change entirely to different hands
Kings and Queens may ever rule their fellow man
But pray they’ll be united like our own free land
