The Flower Of The U.S.A.

The Fleur de Lis belongs to France
that's where the lily grows,
The shamrock dwells in Erin,
While England claims the rose.
But we have a flower, the fairest of all,
that blooms for us today
For the Red Cross girls
who answered the call are
the Flowers of the "U. S. A."

Chorus
They're American Beauties, every one of them
worth their weight in gold,
In their Red Cross gowns they're leaving home
on a mission of mercy o'er the world to roam.
The shamrock, thistle, Albions rose, the lily of France
and the whole world knows,
The're American Beauty Roses,
the Flower of the "U. S. A."

For the cross of red and snow white gown,
they lend a helping hand,
They's give their lives if called on,
for dear old Yankee Land,
As pure as the lily, and sweet as the rose,
no braver hearts than they.
For the fighting blood of America flows,
in the Flower of the "U. S. A."

(Chorus)
