I Am An American

Performed by Horace Heidt
Recorded August 7, 1940
Written by Laing

Now a song the Musical Knights dedicate to each and every American.

I am an American, and I proudly take my stand
To serve under the Stars and Stripes
Of my own, my native land
I love my banner in the air
I'll do my part to keep it there
For I am an American
Of the Great United States

Americans, forward march!
Americans, pass in review!
Americans, sing!

We are the Americans
And we proudly take our stand
To serve under the Stars and Stripes
Of our own, our native land
No force against us will prevail
Together we can never fail
For we are the Americans
Of the great United States

From the East and West, Americans!
From the North and the South, Americans!

In the factories on the farms
In the mines and the mills
In the cities and the little towns
The valleys and the hills
On the prairie groing wide
And the forest [?] small
Americans, one and all!

You are the Americans
And you proudly take your stand
To serve under the Stars and Stripes
Of your own, your native land
You love your banner in the air
You'll do your part to keep it there
For you are the Americans
Of the great United States!
Your own United States!
