When the cry of Peace went ringing  through the Ranks,
Of the English speaking Race,
There were shouts of joy from ev'ry boy,
And a big smile on his face,
Then they all gathered 'round the old dugout,
Where their home has been for long.
Then cried Hurray, we've won the day,
Let us sing this song.

Refrain
Hurray! the war is over!
Hurray the fight is won!
Back from the life of a Rover,
Back from the roar of a gun,
Back to the dear old Homeland,
Home with the peaceful dove,
Don't let us sing anymore about war,
Just let us sing of love.

Verse 2

When the cry of peace went ringing through the ships,
And the crowds began to throng,
There were shouts of joy from ev'ry sailor boy,
And their cheers were loud and long,
Then they all gathered 'round the old canteen,
Where they sometimes all get wet.
Then cried hurray, hurray, hurray,
We'll be home by Christmas yet.

Refrain
