Who have fought for Uncle Sam.
They are black, but God made them
Just the same as any other race.
When the history of this war is
written.
Their names must have a place.
They are loyal to their country.
Not a traitor of them all,
When our country called for soldiers,
Black men answered to the call.
Here we are, Uncle Sam,
Always ready when you call,
We are human, we are men,
For the same God made us all.
On the ocean, in the trenches.
_ Anywhere you choose to send
1 ou will find we'll do our duty
Just the same as other men.
Uncle Sam, if you doubt us.
Give us a chance and we will show
That we are just as brave as anv—
After this war the world will
know.
