You ask me stranger why I made this journey
Why I crossed three thousand miles of rolling waves
Like many others my love was killed in action
So I’m here I’m searching for his grave
Somewhere among these many thousands
Of our Americans who died true and brave
That’s where I know I’ll find him resting
So I’m here I’m searching for his grave
Beside each cross mark here all around me
I’ll kneel down and gladly pray a prayer
For all other loved ones back home across the ocean
Whose heart like mine is buried over here
Somewhere among these many thousands
Of our Americans who died true and brave
That’s where I know I’ll find him resting
So I’m here I’m searching for his grave
