Hank Snow - There's A Star Spangled Banner Waving Somewhere Lyrics

Written by Paul Roberts - Shelby Darnell
Recorded by Hank Snow

There's a star spangled banner waving somewhere in a distant land so many miles away
Only Uncle Sam's great heroes get to go there
Where I wished that I could also live someday
I'd see Lincoln Custer Washington and Perry Nathan Hale and Colin Kelly too
There's a star spangled banner waving somewhere
Waving on the land of the heroes brave and true
In this war with its mad schemes of destruction
Of our country fair and our sweet liberty
By the mad dictators leaders of corruption can't the US use a mountain boy like me
God gave me the right to be a free American
And for that precious right I'd gladly die
There's a star spangled banner waving somewhere
That is where I want to live when I die
Though I realize I'm crippled that is true sir
Please don't judge my courage by my twisted leg
Let me show my Uncle Sam what I can do sir let me help to bring the axis down a peg
If I do some brave deed I will be a hero and the hero brave is what I want to be
There's a star spangled banner waving somewhere
In that heaven there should be a place for me
