STARS & STRIPES ON IWO JIMA ISLE
Recorded by: Bob Wills
Also recorded by: The Sons Of The Pioneers

When The [1] Yanks Raised The [4] Stars & Stripes
On [1] Iwo Jima Isle
[5] Through the Blood and Tears they Won [1] Through
Bless the Heart of each [4] Yankee There
On ]1] Iwo Jima Isle
[5] Resting 'neath a Blanket of [1] Blue

[4] High on the Hill Of Suri-[1] Batchi
Flies Old [2] Glory and She always [5] Will 
When The [1] Yanks Raised The [4] Stars & Stripes
On [1] Iwo Jima Isle
There were [2] Tears in their [5] Hearts
Though they [1] Smiled

When The Yanks Raised The Stars & Stripes
On Iwo Jima Isle
Ev'ry Heart could sing once Again
And the Sight of Old GLory
Over Iwo Jima Isle
Swelled the Hearts of our Fighting Men

2nd BRIDGE:
Long will it Wave o'er the Hilltops
As a Symbol of Heroes who Died
When The Yanks Raised The Stars & Stripes
On Iwo Jima Isle
There were Tears in their Hearts
Though they Smiled.
