Halls Of Montezuma Lyrics

Halls Of Montezuma lyrics

From the Halls of Montezuma 

 To the Shores of Tripoli; 

 We will fight our country's battles 

 In the air, on land and sea; 

 First to fight for right and freedom 

 And to keep our honor clean; 

 We are proud to claim the title 

 of United States Marine. 

 

 Our flag's unfurled to every breeze 

 From dawn to setting sun; 

 We have fought in ev'ry 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.
