Marines 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 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
