Marine Corps Hymn

From the Halls of Montezuma,

To the shores of Tripoli;

We 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 every climb 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.
