Lyrics

  1. A soldier boy lay dying
    ‘Neath the flag he fought to shield
    So far away from home and Mother dear
    When suddenly a vision fair
    Came cross the battle field
    And knelt beside him calmly without fear
    She took him in her arms so tenderly
    For she was just a Red Cross nurse you see

Chorus:
Let’s help the Red Cross now
Let’s help the Red Cross now
When shot and shell are flying
They help the sick and dying
Cooling each fevered brow
So why not Let’s help the Red Cross now
We all can help somehow
When the fight starts be in it
Do your share and help them win it
Come on let’s help the Red Cross now

  1. On every field of battle
    They are always to be found
    To do their duty bravely without fear
    They carry off the wounded
    While the shells are bursting ’round
    It is their prayers our dying soldiers hear
    Were Washington and Lincoln here today
    To every real American they’d say
