Verse 1

They were summoned from the hillside
They were called in from the glen
And the Country found them ready
At the stirring call for men.

Let no tears add to their hardship
As the soldiers pass along
And although your heart is breaking
Make it sing this cheery song....

Refrain (twice each verse)

Keep the Home fires burning
While your hearts are yearning,
Though your lads are far away
They dream of Home;
There's a silver lining
Through the dark cloud shining,
Turn the dark cloud inside out
Till the boys come Home.

Verse 2

Over seas there came a pleading
"Help a Nation in distress!!"
And we gave our glorious ladies
Honour bade us do no less
For no gallant Son of Britain
To a foreign yoke shall bend,
And no Englishman is silent
To the sacred call of Friend....
