Lyrics: In the draft of 1917, a man from Tennessee Overseas to the trenches he went, from the land of the free Into war he brought two things along, a rifle and his faith Joined the ranks as a private, assigned to 338th There on that day Alvin York entered the fray Saving the day 82nd all the way Into the fires of hell, the Argonne, a hero to be Entered the war from over the sea Intervene, 1918, all the way from Tennessee Hill 223 When his faith has been put to the test, the call to arms he heeds On the eighth of October he went, made a sergeant for his deeds Fearless, leading the raid of the war, machine gun on the hill Charge the enemy taking the prisoners by power of his will There on that day Sergeant York entered the fray Saving the day 82nd all the way Into the fires of hell, the Argonne, a hero to be Entered the war from over the sea Intervene, 1918, all the way from Tennessee Hill 223 What Sergeant York achieved that day Would echo to the U.S.A It's 82nd all the way Death from above, what they now say What Sergeant York achieved that day Echoes from France to the U.S.A It's 82nd all the way Death from above, what they now say Into the fires of hell, the Argonne, a hero to be Entered the war from over the sea Intervene, 1918, all the way from Tennessee Hill 223 Hell, the Argonne, a hero to be Entered the war from over the sea Intervene, 1918, all the way from Tennessee Hill 223
