Bob Wills - Stars and Stripes on Iwo Jima lyrics

When the Yanks raised The Stars and Stripes on Iwo Jima Isle Thru' the blood and tears they won thru' Bless the heart of each Yankee There on Iwo Jima Isle Resting 'neath a blanket of blue High on the hill Suribachi flies Old Glory and she always will When the Yanks raised The Stars and Stripes on Iwo Jima Isle There were tears in their hearts Tho' they smiled When the Yanks raised The Stars and Stripes on Iwo Jima Isle Ev'ry heart could sing once again And the sight of Old Glory over Iwo Jima Isle Swelled the hearts of our fighting men Long will it wave o'er the hilltop As a symbol of heroes who died When the Yanks raised The Stars and Stripes on Iwo Jim Isle Each American heart filled with pride
