We Are Soldiers in the Army

Chorus
We are soldiers in the army
We have to fight although we have to cry
We've got to hold up the bloodstained banner
We've got to hold it up until we die

Verse 1
My mother was a soldier
She had her hand on the gospel plow
One day she got old couldn't fight anymore
But she said I'll stand here and fight anyhow

Chorus
We are soldiers in the army
We have to fight although we have to cry
We've got to hold up the bloodstained banner
We've got to hold it up until we die

Verse 2
My father was a soldier
He had his hand on the gospel plow
One day he got old couldn't fight anymore
But he said I'll stand here and fight anyhow

Chorus
We are soldiers in the army
We have to fight although we have to cry
We've got to hold up the bloodstained banner
We've got to hold it up until we die
