Private White, America is proud tonight to claim you for their hero, Private White
On a battlefield one day in a land so far Mid the rattle of machine guns in the dawn's golden light Twenty men lay to death, nineteen of them held their breath While one volunteered to them, volunteered to give his life
Wilson White, America is proud tonight Proud to claim you for their hero, White
Nineteen lives he meant to save, not one glance he gave As he yelled, for God and country, through an open he ran But the had seen and they understood his scheme And the fire their machine guns knocked the rifle from his hands
Private Wilson White, America is tonight to claim you for their hero, Private White
Seven bullets found their mark, seven near the heart And the force of seven bullets knocked the to the ground But his promise he must keep, and he staggered to his Ran toward the four machine guns pinned the soldiers down
Private Wilson White, America is tonight to claim you for their hero, Private White
Bullets flyin' everywhere, smoke and filled the air Onward ran the wounded to keep the vow he made Nearly dead, but deep within, was the to pull the pin As he yelled, I for freedom, he threw the hand grenade
Private Wilson White, is proud tonight Proud to claim you for their hero, White
