MARINES'
HYMN
From
the halls of Montezuma, to the shores of Tripoli,
We fight our country's battles in the air, on land and
sea.
First to fight for right and freedom, and to keep our
honor clean;
We are proud to claim the title of United States Marine.
Our
Flag's unfurled to every breeze from dawn to setting
sun.
We have fought in every clime and place, where we could
take a gun.
In the snow of far off northern lands and in sunny tropic
scenes,
You will find us always on the job, the United States
Marines.
Here's
health to you and to our Corps, which we are proud to
serve.
In many a strife we've fought for life and never lost
our nerve.
If the Army and the Navy ever look on heaven's scenes,
they will find the streets are guarded by United States
Marines.
