The Marines Hymn
From the Halls of Montezuma
To the shores of Tripoli
We fight our country's battles
On the land as on the 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 flag's unfurled to every
breeze
From dawn to setting sun;
We have fought 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 look on Heaven's scenes,
They will find the streets
are guarded
By United States Marines.
