Lyrics:
Everybody would help, when the war was on
Everybody would help, when the war was on
Everybody would help, when the war was on
Well, they registered everybody, when the war was on
Well, it's just about a few years, and some months ago
United States come and voted for war
Sammy called the men from the East and the West:
'Get ready boys, we've got to do our best'
Everybody would help, when the war was on
Everybody would help, when the war was on
Everybody would help, when the war was on
Well, they registered everybody, when the war was on
Well, President Wilson, sittin' on his throne
Makin' laws for everyone
Didn't call the black man, to lay by the white
Everybody would help, when the war was on
Everybody would help, when the war was on
Everybody would help, when the war was on
Well, they registered everybody, when the war was on
Price on the letter, begin to raise
Gettin' no better, but the same old thing
Eight cents on the dollar, ride the train
Ratess gettin' cheaper, take a ride again
Everybody would help, when the war was on
Everybody would help, when the war was on
Everybody would help, when the war was on
Well, they registered everybody, when the war was on
First, you measure your boiler, measure your wheat
Half a pound of sugar for a person a week. Folks didn't like it
They blamed Uncle Sam
I've got to save the sugar for the boys in France
Everybody would help, when the war was on
Everybody would help, when the war was on
Everybody would help, when the war was on
Well, they registered everybody, when the war was on
Well, boys whupped the Germans, home at last
Would have brought the kaiser, but he run too fast
Couldn't blame the kaiser for a-leavin' the land
Sammy, he had to save the skin of a most evil man
Everybody would help, when the war was on
Everybody would help, when the war was on
Everybody would help, when the war was on
Well, they registered everybody, when the war was on
Tax gettin' heavy, have to pay
Helped the boys, over across the sea
Mud and water up to their knees
Faced the kaiser for you and me
Everybody would help, when the war was on
Everybody would help, when the war was on
Everybody would help, when the war was on
Well, they registered everybody, when the war was on
