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
