Threadwinder.info - Knitting Song [Knitting All the Day] by Floy McGlashan, 1918, A.W. Perry's Sons, Sedalia, MO.

    VERSE 1: We have joined the Red Cross Army With its thousands, thousands strong,
                And we're working with our might and main To help the cause along.
                We have no time for sighing, If we keep our needles flying.
                For we've joined the Red Cross Army With it's throng.

    CHORUS: We are knitting, knitting, knitting all the day
                For the soldier boys in France so far away
                And in this world's dread fray
                We will win for USA
                If we're knitting, knitting, knitting all the day.

    VERSE 2: Young and old alike are knitting With a tender thought and care,
                For the soldier boys across the sea, Who bravely do and dare,
                And all the time we're sitting, We just keep our fingers knitting
                While within each heart Is breathed a silent prayer.

    VERSE 3: We will keep the "home fires burning", Here To welcome their returning
                While within each heart with love and hope The embers brightly glow.
                So with the old clock's ticking, Our needles keep time clicking,
                While with joy for that glad day The teardrops flow.
