HILLS OF KOREA 

There’s blood on the hills of Korea,

Tis blood of the brave and the true

Of the nations that battle together

‘Neath the banner of red, white and blue.

As men marched over the hills of Korea

To the hill where their enemy lay

They remembered the Brigadier’s orders

That those hills must be taken today.

As they swung forward into action

Their faces unsmiling and stern

For they knew as they charged up that hillside

That many would never return.

Some thought of their wives and their mothers

Some thought of their sweetheart so fair

But all as they plodded and stumbled

Were softly whispering a prayer.

Now there’s blood on the hills of Korea

It’s the gift for the freedom they loved

May their names rest in glory forever

And their souls high in heaven above.
