Doug MacArthur

Performed by Roy Acuff
Recorded May 1951
Written by Earl Nunn

Once there was a mighty man
Sent to far away Japan
Who'll defend the liberty of peaceful nations
While he did the best he could
There was some who thought he should
Let the Communists take over all creation

[chorus]
Doug MacArthur is a name
That will light the halls of fame
Through the ages there will be no man above him
Just a soldier brave and true
To the old Red, White and Blue
And a hundred million hearts will always love him

With a courage made of steel
Tempered on the battlefield
He has stood against the forces of oppression
Foes in many foreign land
Knows the weight of his right hand
For he made the tyrants pay for their transgression

[repeat chorus twice]
