Marine's Hymn

From the halls of Montezuma
To the shores of Tripoli,
We fight Our country’s battles
In the air, on land and sea.
First to fight for right and freedom
And to keep our honor clean,
We are proud to claim the title
Of United States Marines

Our flags unfurld to every breeze
From the dawn to setting sun
We have faught in every clime and place
Where we could take a gun
In the snow of far off northern lands
And in sunny tropic scenes
You will find us always on the job
The United States Marines

Here’s health to you and to our Corps
Which we are proud to serve
In many a strife we’ve fought for life
And never lost our nerve.
If the Army and the Navy
Ever looked on Heaven’s scense
They would find the streets are guarded
By United States Marines
