Boys "Remember The Maine"
Words & music by E.A. Warren
Published 1898

For God and home and native land we're marching to the sea,
For our dear flag that waves above and for humanity;
Our gallant fleet is on the move, we're fighting treachrous Spain.
Spurred on by the battle cry, "Remember the 'Maine'!"

[chorus]
The stars and stripes are waving on the land and sea,
Underneath this banner Cuba shall be free;
The army and the navy, while they're fighting Spain,
Go forth with the watchword, "Remember the 'Maine'!"

We've come to set poor Cuba free, we've come to punish Spain,
And to avenge the murder of the heroes of the "Maine".
They call to us from wat'ry graves, they shall not call in vain,
We will fight beneath the flag, Rememb'ring the "Maine".

[repeat refrain]

Hurrah for Yankee soldiers now, beneath one flag they stand,
Not only from the North they come, but from the "Dixie land".
Now brothers in a common cause, they chant the same refrain.
"Blue and Gray" march side by side, Rememb'ring the "Maine".

[repeat refrain]
