Son House American Defense Lyrics

MMM Hmmmm

No used in shedding no tears No use in having no fears This war may last you for years

American defense Well you use some sense Just have to take care of your boys you must raise more produce farmers set sail and use so save allyour worries in toils

No use in shedding no tears No use in having no fears This war may last you for years

We'll the red white and blue That represents you You ought to do everything that you can Buy a war savin' stamps Young men go to their camps Be brave and take a stand

No use in shedding no tears No use in having no fears This war may last you for years

Oh that troubles sometimes All upset your mind Well you all know just what to do keep pushin, keep shovin' don't be angry, be loving, be a good,fellow, honest and true
No use in shedding no tears No use in having no fears This war may last you for years

You can say yes or no but we got to win this war because gentle Mac Arthur is not afraid They won't be enough japs to shoot a little game of craps because the biggest of them all will be dead

No use in shedding no tears No use in having no fears This war may last you for years

This war sure do bother our mothers and father our sister and brothers too our friends and relations this war'll end Creation don't let this worry you

No use shedding no tears No use in having no fears This war may last you for years
