Let's Help The Red Cross Now

A soldier boy lay dying
'Neath the flag he fought to shield,
So far away from home and Mother dear,
When suddenly a vision fair
Came cross the battle field;
And knelt beside him calmly without fear.
She took him in her arms so tenderly,
For she was just a Red Cross nurse you see.

Let's help the Red Cross now
Let's help the Red Cross now
when shot and shell are flying
They help the sick and dying
Cooling each fevered brow
So why not Let's Help the Red Cross now
We all can help somehow
When the fight starts they'll be in it
Do you share and help them win it
Come on let's help the Red Cross now.

On ev'ry field of battle
They are always to be found,
To do their duty bravely without fear,
They carry off the wounded while
the shells are bursting 'round
It is their prayers our dying soldiers hear
Were Washington and Lincoln here today
To ev'ry real American they'd say.

Let's help the Red Cross now
Let's help the Red Cross now
when shot and shell are flying
They help the sick and dying
Cooling each fevered brow
So why not Let's Help the Red Cross now
We all can help somehow
When the fight starts they'll be in it
Do you share and help them win it
Come on let's help the Red Cross now.
